We will be dying papers on the first day plus starting on tissue paper by gessoing, and printing with matte medium, and encasing with gloss medium. You will need your acrylic paint, three pie tins, a stiff brush, disposable palette, one roll of freezer paper and lots of different kinds of paper to dye from trash to good watercolor paper (see list for paper ideas and optional mediums to use on paper before dyeing). For the tissue paper you will need white and black gesso, a large soft synthetic brush, spray bottles for water, mediums, stamps (can use bottle lids, box tops, etc.) And the large trash bags. The best white tissue paper is spectra bleeding tissue available at school box. We will also start encasing and attaching with string, thread, confetti, paper and coffee or tea grounds. The first day I will show you samples of the other techniques so you will have a better idea of what to collect for the other classes. Each week I’ll tell you what you need to bring to the next class, you will feel like you're on a scavenger hunt. Please call if you have any questions.
