What to Bring: Bring your own bag to bring your work home with you. A tote bag or backpack is great. Please be prepared to wait 15 minutes after the workshop finishes to let your artwork dry before you pack it up. Wear casual clothes (nothing you would regret getting paint on). The paint does come off, but it gives everyone less anxiety if you don’t wear a gown or a tux.
