- tips to free your mind from the day’s responsibilities so that you can focus on your journal
Supplies list:
Art journals will use EVERY art supply you can think of, and then more. Keep your supplies simple at first until you figure out what you really like to use. The instructor will provide plenty of supplies to start.

- Pencils: graphite is a must; colored pencils optional.
- Crayons: wax, watersoluble, or oil pastels. Don’t bring them all, only what you have on hand.
- Glue stick
