buy/bring these supplies:

/Adhesive (any viscosity is fine, Michael's carries a tube that can
cover can be shared by up to three people.)
- Rubber dish gloves -
or any liquid proof gloves so adhesive doesn't get on the skin
- A spray paint of some
kind (Instructor recommends the mirror spray at Michaels, used to make
mirrors from glass. The color will act as a backing so white is a more
traditional choice.)

cardboard card for fanning (we can make these)
- A picture in digital
format - they should be sent to this email (chris@layer14.com) ASAP so
the instructor can print them out prior to the workshop, the
transparencies take awhile to ship and can be tedious to work with, so
they will be printed off prior to the workshop.

glass – MUST be anything smaller than 5x5 (can use glass from a small
picture frame)
