Hi

I am looking for art classes in or around Dundalk, drawing or watercolours maybe. Is there anything out there?

[Crafty Alley]

Hi - just to let you know we have just opened in Killarney and will be having plenty of workshops and classes here in the shop. The first drawing class with artist Deborah O' Keefe kicked off last night and was a great success. So if you are in Kerry call in and visit us.

hi all,i just signed up here and am excited to use the forum... i am an artist me self hense the name,i wanted to share some of the courses i have done which i thought were really good...

i did a 2 yr course(i ended up staying for 3) in north strand,it was brilliant,it was a vtos cours and i got paid 250 a week there and around for doing it... the course was sculpture and ceramics based with a woodworking room,metalwork room,ceramics room,printing room,painting room and drawing room, a bit of art history aswel.... it was 9-5 mon to thur,i got such a good portfolio out of this course that it got me into ncad,actually we all got in who applied...when i got into ncad i realised that there was not the same attention paid to skills being taught and i realised how great the course was in n. strand.... ncad was brilliant for adding a concept to your skills,but i was very greatful to have the skills going in because we dont get taught much of the basic skills of drawing and painting etc....

the others who did not apply to college,either went onto manor hamilton in sligo to speciaise in sculpture or got studios and applied to exhibitions or worked from home.... everyone got so much out of it,thought i would share that experiece i had because it gave me so much which led onto other artistic oppertunities x

Does anybody know where I could do a drawing class on the northside or in the city? There's one in Bray and another in Dun Laoghaire but they're a bit far, and I don't have the skill to join sketching clubs yet (I've only been doing it a week!)
