We had 32 there..which was almost more than I could handle because of needing to float around & help everyone with their individual projects. Set a dead line too of when they need to reg. Depending on the situation, you may want them to pre-pay so you are not out money. Or just keep you receipt so you can return unused canvas. I did buy prestretched. They were 16x20. I bought them in a five pack at Michaels. We happened upon a mispricing..and got them DIRT CHEAP! However, they are reasonable at normal price, plus..if you know far enough in advance...COUPONS!!! We used apple barrel paints...they were on sale. We had a lot on hand already from the summer art camp I did at the church. I used the brushes from school..and my watercups(my prin. lets me borrow things like that).

Did you use pre-stretched and gessoed canvas? Where did you purchase it in bulk to make it affordable? How about the paint? Did people have to reserve a slot ahead of time so you knew how much stuff to purchase? How much did you charge per person to make such a nice profit? Thanks!Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.com
