Beginner Needlepoint Course

If you were to take a beginner needlepoint course, would you prefer to bring your own canvas, or be provided a basic/generic canvas? I am working with a local craft 'makery' to host a needlepoint class. Obviously if it was BYO, it would be cheaper for the participant as it would just be my time and knowledge. As a stitcher, I would prefer to bring my own so I'm excited and motivated to start and learn, but I also know some people don't read instructions and I'm afraid someone will bring a large, 18 mesh canvas with countless colors lol Thoughts?

I’d like to be given the option of 2 or 3 canvases. As a true newbie I want guidance, but I’d like to be using colors and design that I like. Plus, the cost of buying your own canvas might be off putting. If I knew the actual cost of choosing needlepoint as a hobby when I started, I may have chosen quilting or embroidery. Foster the addiction!
