First rule in Studio Detritus – don’t buy anything! If possible. If you don’t have something on the list bring extra of something else and do a swap with another participant. Don’t be tempted to bring your entire studio - bring things in a colourway – they don’t all have to be the same colour - try for 3 complimentary or contrasting colours with black and/or white. Sometimes too many choices are worse than too few.
|
If you feel up for a challenge grab random stuff – yes random - don’t colour co-ordinate. It’s a great exercise for your creativity and sharing.
|
The only thing I would recommend is that you have one unifying thing - if you have heaps of silk or fabric scraps then use a single colour wool to unify it. Or if you have loads of wool scraps and perhaps a piece of silk big enough use that. But don't stress! In the end bring what you have and buy what you need.

Please call me if you have any doubts, questions or worries!
