Virtual Arts & Crafts Classes FAQs
- A: Depending on the type of class, the vendor typically ships the necessary materials, such as paints, brushes, and a canvas for a painting class, to the attendees before the event. During the class, the instructor will usually give an introduction and then guide the attendees through the process step by step, sometimes presenting by using two cameras, so that participants can see both their hands (if applicable) and face throughout the event. For live-streamed classes, attendees can also ask questions via the platform’s chat function or by speaking directly to the instructor.

Participants usually receive a list of materials that are included with the class, along with a list of tools that aren’t provided such as mixing bowls or jewelry-making tools. Instructors can recommend where to purchase the tools or they can be added on for an additional fee. Some vendors offer both domestic and international shipping. Keep in mind that extra lead time will be needed to ensure the materials arrive on time to international attendees.

- A: Both. For team building purposes, virtual arts & crafts classes are usually live streamed to allow participants to interact with the teacher and each other. Attendees can react and ask questions and post comments in the chat feature. Pre-recorded video classes can be incorporated into larger events such as conferences. There is no interactivity with the teacher, but the videos can be customized with branded graphics and scripted copy that’s specific to the event. This is a good option for international audiences who might not be able to tune in at the same time.
