Helpful Technical Information

  • I use Zoom for all of my online workshops, you can download this onto your computer, laptop, iPad or iPhone.

  • A laptop is a great choice as you can move the screen up and down so I can see your work easily.

  • Ideally have two devices, one where you can watch me and one such as an iPhone pointed at your work so I can see your progress.

  • Mic and video settings. Make sure you have allowed “access for all” on your settings so that there are no technical issues at the start of our session.
