    Equipment and materials

    Lesson information sheets will be provided in all lessons. Please bring a pen and a notepad to write your own additional notes and bring your own memory stick to copy any project work in order to practice at home. If you bring along your own laptop computer with the same software, please ensure you have a mouse, as using the scroll panel is likely to be too slow for you to keep up with the lesson tasks.
