We will explore many different materials in the class, and I encourage you to

bring any artist materials you might be interested in working with.

Material fee $25, payable to Betty Busby

No sewing machines are necessary.

Included in the class is a sample of the nonwoven we will be using for the cutter.

This is sufficient to execute all of the class projects.

Also included is 1 yard of 8mm silk habotai.

Included in the class is the use of my fabric paint.

Students may also bring their

own including Dye-Na-Flow, SetaSilk, Lumiere, Setacolor, or other fabric paints.

Below are the items that will be necessary for the class-

Sharp scissors
6 white plastic kitchen trash can liner bags- 13 gallon- unscented please.
Fusible of your choice – at least one yard- Misty Fuse recommended
Latex gloves for use when painting
Container for water to rinse brushes
Water sprayer
parchment paper or Teflon sheet (preferred)
2 yards minimum of white or light colored material- can be any material, including
synthetics.
A sheet or 2 of foamcore board- the 20x30” size that is sold at Target and most
grocery stores is fine.
Set of regular acrylic artist paints (any brand)- basic colors, primaries plus black
and white.
Recommended brushes are 1” chipping brushes, and large (size 8-10) round
bristle brushes meant for acrylic paint. Find the chipping brushes in the hardware
store, usually in the bottom bins- they are a dollar or so each.
You’ll need 3 or 4 of each.

OPTIONAL:

Gallon ziplock bags to take home your treasures.
Apron- at least wear painting clothes.
Extra fabric to paint- some of the techniques work best on silk habotai, but you
can bring cottons or even synthetics too
Other media to bring IF you have them and would like to explore are- Prismacolor
colored pencils, fabric paints such as Lumiere, Derwent Inktense pencils, and
markers.
I don’t use or recommend regular watercolors or watercolor pencils, and water
soluble, oil or regular pastels, and regular oil paint.
