Equipment & materials list
Materials are not included in the course fee. All the materials and equipment you will need are listed below.
NB. Standard craft knives are NOT suitable for paper cutting; they are too clunky and the blades are too thick to achieve the fine cutting needed.
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstration – the demo session is a time to watch, ask and learn. After the demo you will be sent a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
