Equipment and Kit List

We look forward to meeting you on the gifted and talented residential course. Please make yourself aware of this list and the documents that follow so that you are fully prepared to make the most of the course, activities and opportunities that are presented to you.

Residential Kit in addition to your normal clothing:

·  Clothes suitable for getting messy and / or an art apron

TELEPHONES

·  We prefer it if students do not bring mobile phones as there is no mobile reception at the centre. The Centre will accept no responsibility for any phones which may be lost or damaged and they must not be misused if they are on their person. (e.g. Inappropriate photographs should not be taken using a camera phone, but photographs of the artwork as it progresses are acceptable during workshops.)

Material equipment to bring:

·  A camera to record your development and progress if permission to bring it (cameras are brought at your own risk and should have your name on it but can be locked away out of workshops should you need it to be – please ask). Please see photographic and moving image form with regards to photography and mobile phone cameras (to follow).

·  Yr6 – an ice cream/butter/equivalent plastic tub with a lid

·  Yr5 – a pair of old tights

·  KS3 – a rucksack/shoulder bag
