All supplies are provide.

Students should come to class with 10-20 printed photos, printed on photo paper, all the same size and orientation (horizontal, vertical, or square), and no larger than 6″ on the longest dimension. If you don’t have your own photos printed, you’ll be able to make a blank book that you can add photos to later.
