Please join us in the Facebook Group here and you can download a general suggested supply list that covers some of the most commonly used mixed media supplies from this link – however, you do not need all these supplies necessarily! It’s best to wait and watch the Taster activities to see if you like the supplies before buying.

We encourage people as much as possible to ‘make-do’ with what they have already available and buy some supplies here and there, but overall you can replace and substitute what the teachers use with what you already have. If you wanted to buy the bare essentials, I would buy:

• a pad of watercolour paper 140lbs (300gsm) 12 x 9″ hotpressed
• a graphite pencil to draw with + eraser
• some neocolor II crayons, colours: 1. salmon 2. magenta 3. teal 4. orangish yellow (you can buy these loose)
• a basic beginner/ student set of acrylics + some skin tone acrylics
• A small watercolour set of vibrant colours (I love Jane Davenport watercolour sets)
• 2 or 3 Tombow markers (or ecoline markers) in your favourite colours
• 1 white posca pen/ 1 black posca pen (fine nibs)
• some gel medium (impasto gel)
• some collage papers

Many people who come on our courses like to look at the lesson first and then see if they want to buy any of supplies used then. In any case, you now have some information regarding supplies available! :0)

With a holistic approach to creativity, self-development and healing, you’ll be creating several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year you will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! You will be able to try out other art crafts like art doll making, clay work, stone painting and we provide you with nurturing and nourishing personal development activities (like yoga, mindfulness and non-violent communication) to support any personal development you’re undertaking. Your final book with your art work in it will function as a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life.

If you sign up to Life Book 2021 – you retain access to all taster sessions AND you get access to a year long art and healing course with over 80+ art & wellbeing sessions which are sure to inspire you! You’ll also get a special Virtual Gift Bag with extra gifts from all the teachers such as: free classes/ free high resolution print outs of gorgeous art work & special discounts etc!
