Comfortable safe walking shoes are a good idea. Maybe a couple of pair. And I always take extra socks. There are some truly spectacular beach and old-growth forest hikes withing minutes. Come prepared so you don't miss out.
Remember your camera, phone and charger!
Bring your own travel easels, chair and gear. We will have an optional gouache paint kit which will be available closer to the workshop, if you'd like to try your hand with gouache but don't know which colors or brushes or surfaces to buy.
