 “Artist” series are more saturated and colors have better light fastness. There are also more colors available. “Student” or “studio” series are less expensive, less saturated, and fade faster, but perfectly fine while learning.

Micron Pen (size 05, Black) or extra fine tip Black Sharpie

This is a suggested supply list. If you have comparable supplies already on hand, feel free to bring those and we can assess what you may need for the class beyond that. You will need Watercolor Paper and 5 canvas panels - 12x16 or  5 gessoed panels.

The brushes and colors can be a bit more varied. I’ve included a photo of most of the supplies at Blick that I like. If you are taking the class with a friend or family member, most of the supplies can be shared. These supplies will last you a long time if taken care of properly.

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in larger groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible.

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying. Applications are available in Spanish and English.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
