Material List #

While most equipment required for the class will be provided, we are asking students to purchase a few materials on their own, as they are ones we expect some might already own. After the first half of the class, each student will refine their direction and may need access to more specific equipment and supplies. In that case, we have created a “library” for you to check out or take materials as they are required. The instructor will introduce which materials are available and how to access the materials library during the semester.

Where to Shop Locally #

We have provided links to places where you can order other essential or helpful materials. But there are also some local suppliers you can obtain more general textile supplies and equipment from:

• Art Parts is a local non-profits that we love and where we have obtained most materials for the course (and at a discounted price). They have an amazing selection of donated textile materials and equipments that you can purchase. Some of these materials are much higher quality than you would find at a craft retailer like Michaels or Joannes.
• Joanne’s is located very close to campus and has general purpose textile supplies.

Essentials #

Essential materials are those required to complete the course assignments. We will either expect you to obtain these in the first week of class or will provide them to you during class. Items with an X in the “You” Column are those we expect you to provide. Those in the “Course” column will be provided to you through the distribution of the kit.

Other Useful Materials #

You may find it useful to have other materials accessible but there are ways you can complete the class without these as well. You may wish to purchase yourself or will be accessible (on a first come first served bases) through the course materials library.

Equipment #

As a member of this class you will have acces to different forms of textile production equipment. To use this equipment, you must schedule a time with your instructor.

Class Kits #

As a member of this class you will also be given a kit of consumable materials that will help you with class assignments. Please return the bags and the materials you did not use at the end of the semester.
