Hi bduff,
Artexing is frequently done to conceal joint cracks, it's probably better to overboard the ceiling staggering any joints.

It's just the walls I want to cover. The ceiling will just be getting a coat of emulsion.

Hi bduff.
In that case you will need a bucket, wisk to go in a drill, float for plastering, a hawk and a brush to apply adhesion agent or waterproof pva. I've assumed you will use conventional gypsum plaster.
