This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for beginners and improvers alike. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn - however, you are welcome to work along with Heather, if you wish.
Workshop details
The process of designing in pencil is a core skill for calligraphers and artists to pursue. During this class, we will deconstruct the process of designing and colouring ornate Victorian vines. Rather than copying designs, you will learn how to see the underlying structure and create original designs every time you approach the paper.
During our first session, we will be working with pencil and paper. This simple skill is peaceful and enlightening. We will look at methods of study, research, and finding inspiration from a variety of sources for your designs. You will have enough time between the classes to work on and develop your pencil designs and will be encouraged to keep a small journal for sketches and recording inspiration. Our vines will come to life through pointed pen drawing, watercolour, and gold leaf during the second session together.
Feedback will be available through the class blackboard throughout the series and in the follow up session. These wonderful vines are so ornate and luxurious when they are completed - you will be amazed at what you can create. We hope you will be able to build on these skills for years to come and access the portable peace of pencil on paper anytime!

All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Heather will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students during the series, and for thirty days after the follow up session. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
*The follow up session is not recorded to ensure that you have an opportunity to share your work with the rest of the class, and receive personal feedback, without feeling self-conscious about being recorded. We would encourage you all to join us live if you can – even if you were signed up as a ‘recording only’ participant for the workshop.
