Wear a business casual, very comfortable outfit.
Remember to bring:
- note paper and a pen to take notes.
- a portfolio (finished or unfinished) because you’ll learn so much from the critiques.
- Bring some extra cash, in case you want to buy a book or two.
We’ll also try to match all of the ‘newbies’ up with a ‘veteran’ who might be able to point you in the right direction with your questions.
