This section contains printable material to complement my workshops.  Participants should receive a photcopy of this page with the relevant pages ticked (hence column 1!)
If you didn’t get one let me know which workshop you just attended and i’ll send you the relevant links)

I put the materials on my site in order to save paper. Why mass duplicate handouts for participants  who may not be interested in receiving them, or who might simply file and forget them?  Also some of the mateirals contain links to other sites, videos etc, so having these links live means they're much easier for you to access.

If you have any problems accessing or printing any of the materials (eg quality not high enough) please contact me and i'll be happy to forward you originals.
