Week 1: Salvage Collage Class Supply List

SALVAGE COLLAGE WITH DAYNA COLLINS

Students will need to bring the following to class:

Paper cutting scissors for small detailed cutting
Paint brushes - 1/2", 1", and 2" flat brushes
Matte Medium (Golden or Liquidtex)
X-acto knife with new blade and self-healing cutting mat
Pad of 9x12 inch 140 pound water color paper (can be torn into smaller sizes, but this is a good size for how we will be working)
Metal edge ruler
Water container
Box of wax paper
Roll of paper towels
5 old hardback books, the more worn and wonky, the better (to be pulled apart and cut up)
10 vintage paperback covers
Old magazines or catalogs to use as glue pages
Fine tipped white acrylic pen
Fine tipped black acrylic pen
A few assorted pencils, i.e., #2, Stabilo in black, graphite
A "side" journal (an old book, a handmade book, or a purchased journal with mixed media weight paper); this journal will be used for leftover paint, collage scraps, examples of techniques, and experimentation.
Variety of collage papers*, be creative and bring what you have. Some ideas: old letters, envelopes, maps, dictionary pages, vintage brochures, sheet music, book pages, old newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, etc.

*In addition to a prepared packet of materials for each student as part of the materials fee, I will be providing an abundance of materials for students to use.

OPTIONAL

Apron
Personal black and white photos, either originals or photocopies (or both). I will bring photos of strangers for students to use, but sometimes personal photos are fun to work with.
Substrate of your choice: We will be working on 140 pound watercolor paper and on book boards, but you are welcome to also bring a couple of wood cradled panels.
