What you already need to know
This course is for everyone. You do not need to have experience doing macrame.

How you will learn it
Using the online medium you will learn directly from your tutor. You will have plenty of opportunity to develop your practical skills and your tutor will give you guidance and feedback.
Bring to the first session
ACRES' online courses will be taught in real time using the video platform Google Meet, supported by other online resources. To ensure you get the most out of the course and can fully participate in the sessions you will interact with your tutor and other students through speaking, listening and the chat function, as well as being able to see each other via the video links, though you can turn off your camera and microphone at any time.
You will therefore need to have access to either a laptop, computer or portable device (eg tablet or phone) (this ideally needs to be less than 5 years old), with a camera / webcam and microphone, as well as a good broadband / Wi-Fi connection.
Though it is not essential, you may choose to create a separate email account for your online learning (preferably Gmail which is most compatible with Google Meet). This will give you the added security to allow you to share your email address with your tutor and other students on the course to enhance your learning experience, without disclosing your personal information.
At the start of the course and before each lesson your tutor will send you an invitation with a link to join the class and any further information including resources and equipment you will need for the lesson.
Materials and items you will need to do the course
One bottle wrapper will require
- A wine bottle
- Cord/twine/cotton in the colour of choice. The length of cord for the bottle depends on the size of the bottle as you will need 8 lengths of string/yarn with each length being 8 times the height of the bottle.
The pattern will be emailed to you before the start of the course by the tutor
Extra study or practice
None.
