This Wednesday from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Folks,

We will be meeting this week at the Patchogue Arts Council space on 20 Terry Street in Patchogue....it's the Art Space building.  You can bring your sketch gear and sketch or you can follow along as I demo how to make your own sketchbook,

If you want to learn how to make your own sketchbook, here's a good place to start.

For those on a budget, you can make these with what you have around the house, except for the paper.  Please read through and if you have any questions add them on the Facebook group.  I have thread you can use if you don't want to use dental floss.

If you want to make the sketchbook with me, here's what you need to bring with you:

22 x 30 inch sheet of watercolor or heavy printmaking paper (If you want to do both, bring two sheets.....Michael's carries 140 lb WC paper than some folks have used, it isn't bad....)

Yardstick or ruler

scissors

a large needle with a big eye, or a #18 or 22 tapestry needle

waxed dental floss, bookbinding thread, OR waxed linen thread (harder to find) ANY ONE of these will work PLUS I have waxed thread I can bring with me.

pencil

If you have tube watercolors and a big thirsty brush, bring them and a water container.

THESE TWO ITEMS BRING ONLY IF YOU HAVE THEM please don't feel you have to rush out and buy them:

an awl if you have one

bonefolder if you have one
