- Please bring a few images- these can be on your phone, but printed out on ordinary printer paper would be ideal, if possible. These don’t have to be great photos. They only need to make you remember a place, people or events. Any of the following: Two or three images of favourite places. An image of a special event. An image of anything that in some way inspires you- this could be anything at all- something from nature, an inspiring person, a building that you love the lines of. Something that captured your attention for any reason.

- Measuring tape
- Scissors, very sharp (I’ll have some extras available in case you can’t bring your own)
