Materials
We are supplying materials and equipment but you need to bring a camera and if you have art materials please bring them. For example: paints, sketchbook, pens, crayons and pencil. If you are unsure what to bring, then call to discuss which materials to bring. You do not need to bring a drawing board. You may like to bring a stool but there are plenty of places to sit in Rhodes with a cushion.
