[#0000FF]You will need to bring nothing to the first session. But something to take notes might be helpful. I will bring all of my stuff and introduce each item as I go along. You can make notes or refer to the writeup I have put together on Making Fligs. I am attaching a copy here, but it will be undergoing some updates and revisions. Hail progress...or to hail with it.

[#0000FF]Here is a brief list of the materials I will be using.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Foam sheets...high density EVA foam. 1" and 1.5"[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Asst. drill bits for cutting foam plugs.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Drill and rotary tool...for cutting and shaping plugs.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Razor blades or other sharp blades for cutting foam[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Super glue for securing hooks inside foam[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Hooks...plain and with tails.[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Tail material, thread and fly tying vise[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Paints: white, yellow chartreuse, green chartreuse,[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF] bright green, hot orange, hot red, black[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Glitters: white, silver, blue, disco yellow[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]Finishes: Clear gloss, UV final coat[/#0000FF]
[#0000FF]

[#0000FF]For those who decide to ease (or jump) into making their own stuff, we can hold follow up meetings or group workshops...or you can visit my playroom for one-on-one advanced tutorials. A lot of the questions that develop as you go along can be easily answered by PMs and/or photos.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]It ain't rocket science but it does take a bit of basic manual dexterity and creativity. My earliest attempts were VERY crude but the fish still voted for them. That encouraged me to keep doing better.
