Recommended materials are a carving block\, five-piece cutters and stamp carving tool\, and high-quality paper. Basic printmaking materials will also be available. \n\nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \nWindgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter.
