How do I join the class?
Accessing ZoomThis class will take place online. You will be sent the Zoom link in good time for the session by email. The link will also be accessible through our community platform.
In order to make the most of your experience, we recommend to:
- Use a desktop computer of laptop to connect to the Zoom session (we don’t recommend joining with a smart phone as you will struggle to see the stitch demonstrations on the small screen. Zoom controls can also be challenging to manage on a tablet so we recommend a larger device if you have one)
- Have the Zoom software ready downloaded on your device
- Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit with a stable place to rest your device.
