What will I need to bring?

All materials and equipment will be provided.

Please bring an idea for a simple image or design to draw from or trace. Your design should fit within an A5 rectangle, and high contrast images work best. If you are copying a design please check the copyright.

Please wear old clothes as printing can get messy. Aprons will be provided.

You may wish to bring a packed lunch. Teas, coffee and biscuits are provided.

This is a relaxed and fun course suitable for beginners. Drawing skills are not necessary to enjoy this workshop.
