SOURCES FOR ART SUPPLIES:
If you already own any of these items, such as scissors or tape, bring what you have instead of buying new.
Office supply stores, department
stores, and/or discount stores carry many of the items we use in class that
might also be found in an office, such as pencils and markers – for example,
Staples, Target, Ocean State Job Lot.
