 Day One: Finger painting artist and beloved instructor Kimberly Adams will guide students through a step by step finger painting starting with prepping the background for a floral design.

Supply List:
A note on art supplies - we realize it can be hard to find supplies right now. If you can’t find the supplies listed below, just use what you have or can find. We’ll all be flexible. If you can, we recommend checking your local art supply store, since many of them need customers, and often have the supplies that The Big Stores are out of. If you are in Edmonds, ARTspot offers 10% off to Cole Studio students, and they are providing curb-side service until stores can fully open. In Seattle, Artist & Craftsman Supply also gives a 10% discount; identify yourself as a Cole student.
