SUPPLIES

 

  • Participants will supply their own chalks – water-based, environmentally friendly products are recommended.
  • Chalks are available through Amazon (consider donating to Public Art Reston through Amazon Smile when you make a purchase), JoAnne’s, Michaels, and other online craft and art supply sites. Many offer curbside pick-up. Or may make your own chalk.
