Suggested supplies for all artists—

These are the foundational materials that everyone attending the retreat should be sure to have by the time classes start, regardless of the medium you will be working with.

PLEASE NOTE: The linked suggestions are of good quality products that are reasonably priced. If you already have these supplies, it is not necessary to repurchase them from this list. If they are not accessible or you would like recommendations at a different price point, please don’t hesitate to reach out for more advice. We will also arrange for supply runs on location before the start of classes and during the retreat if needed.
