Root & Threshold Online Class Supply List

Please gather your materials before class so everything is within easy reach. Most of the supplies can be items you already have at home. One optional item that may be helpful for the year-long Root & Threshold journey is a small spiral-bound mixed media pad, described below. Please do not feel that you need to purchase anything if that is not practical for you.

Suggested for the Year-Long Journey: If you choose to purchase one, I recommend:

Strathmore 300 Series Mixed Media Pad - 5.5” x 8.5” | 40 Sheets, spiral-bound along the long 8.5-inch side, like a notebook, rather than top-bound.

The smaller size provides enough room for simple collage work without the pressure of filling a large page. The spiral binding keeps your work together throughout the year. With 40 sheets, there is room for one collage page and approximately two reflection or note pages for each of the 13 trees.
