How LivePlus™ and ArtTalks Work
your LivePlus™ Workshops
Once you have chosen which workshop you would like to attend, you can book your place online, as you would with our onsite workshops. You will receive a confirmation email and receipt for payment immediately, and the joining instructions will be sent during the week leading up to your workshop. Our online workshops and talks are delivered via Zoom video conferencing platform, which is really easy to access.
Unless specified in your course description, you don’t need to work along with the tutor during your workshop as this is the time to watch, ask and learn. For the best viewing experience, we recommend that you use a bigger screen such as a PC, laptop or iPad / tablet, but you can also join via Smart phone if you have great eyesight.
It is up to you if you want to buy the materials and equipment in advance (these can sometimes be purchased directly from the tutor), or whether to source your own after you have attended the class. Many items are easily improvised and full details, including supplier lists, are provided in the course descriptions.
A few minutes before your session is due to begin, click the Zoom link* sent in your confirmation email to join the session. The Ardington moderator will admit you to the virtual classroom to meet your tutor and your classmates. During the workshop, the tutor will talk you through a series of live detailed step-by-step demonstrations, during which you can ask questions and have the ability to interact with other students.
After the workshop, you will be sent a link to the video recording of it, so that you can replay it as many times as you like and follow along at your own pace. Our video recordings automatically expire after 30 days. Then it's time to book more LivePlus™ workshops!
Lots of our workshops also include a follow up session 14 days later; the follow up isn’t recorded, but it is an invaluable part of the Ardington experience. A great opportunity to come together with the rest of your class to share your creations and ideas and the perfect place to learn extra tips and tricks from the tutor and each other!
ArtTalks
Our ArtTalks are live masterclass talks with Q and A given by experts in their respective fields. Delivered to small groups of students using Zoom video conferencing, they are designed to upskill your art appreciation and awareness in a range of subjects. We also hope they will prompt you to experiment and explore new avenues. A video playback service is provided for the majority of our ArtTalks; the perfect chance to catch up if you aren't able to attend a talk live.
Important note
Please check our terms and conditions which explain your responsibility regarding having a good internet connection and computer suitable to join an online course and play video.
*We recommend that you read our How to use Zoom page before your online workshop or ArtTalk.
