Tutor: Karen Carter
Wed 30th August 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for everyone. There will be elements of working along, for those who wish to join in. Alternatively, you can just sit back, watch & learn.
Workshop details
This is the third in our exciting 'Just One Thing' series. Born from the traditional concept of 'single object studies', each class will explore one item in many different ways; an important lesson in observation for any student, but given a fun and informal twist!
In this workshop we will be making a 'tiny book of tea'. We'll be using teabags, tags and packaging, as well as taking inspiration from cakes, decorative china, and the recipes and rituals that go with a nice cuppa! (Don't fret though, coffee drinkers are also very welcome.)
Karen will show us how to use a range of mixed media to create our book and we'll learn a myriad of techniques which are perfect for this class but adaptable to suit all sorts of themes. Have fun playing with simple printing from packaging, collage, and stitching into teabag cloth, then create a little concertina book to hold all your samples.
No experience needed, there will be lots of demos, ideas and step-by-step instruction!

Additional Information
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.
Karen will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. 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.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
