This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for everyone who wants to learn the basics of canal art. You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this online demonstration – it is a time to watch, ask and learn.
Workshop details
We are delighted to welcome Kerri Williams to the Ardington family and to be featuring the heritage craft of Canal Art online!
In this two-hour beginner's class, we'll be learning how to paint flowers in the traditional 'Roses and Castles' canal art style. We'll be working our design on a slate heart - a beautiful keepsake - and Kerri will show you how to form your blooms, which can then be painted on a variety of surfaces, from mugs to narrow boats!
Kerri will guide you through each step, advise on materials and share hints and tips along the way. You'll gain the skills you need to paint your own roses and daisies, to admire for years to come.
This class blends beautifully with Kerri's upcoming 'Basics of Sign Writing' class in November.

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.
Kerri 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.
