WHAT TO BRING TO

CHARCOAL DRAWING CLASS

All materials are available from The Artists Apothecary during class (though keep in mind sometimes items sell out prior to class so it’s best to have these arranged prior to class). Alternatively, you can pre-order these materials from Lisa and she will have them ready for you in class - 0428 266 834
