Advice from Dean:
"The only disadvantage of buying a kit is all the chemicals and paint are in sample sizes. This can be fine if you just want to try it out, but will only last you a few screens. I started with one of these kits and slowly bought more supplies when I needed them."The Art Department wishes to thank Dean and art advocacy group SAMO 4 ART, who arranged the demonstration.
