You will need a frame - a charity shop picture frame is fine - choose one in a soft wood if possible, about the same size as your piece of silk. You will be provided with a metre square of silk to work with and you might wish to cut this into smaller pieces (50 x 50?) for experimentation. Please bring also, one or two basic watercolour brushes, a white palette or plate, paper towels, apron, jam jar.
