I was so sorry to learn that the Art In Action event which is held annually in Townley Hall, Drogheda, has been cancelled this year. It was a bit expensive for admission.

The annual Dublin Sketchers exhibition opened last night - a huge variety of work at reasonable prices! If you are looking for a piece - I'd get over there! We're delighted to have such amazing artists in our group and are very proud of what they have achieved for this exhibition. It was hard work but last night proved that it is worth it! Everyone welcome to drop in and take a look!

Larianne

I'll definitely make sure to take a look when I'm in town. Good work!

Based in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, Clever Crafts is a new and exciting partnership offering Art Workshops and Summer Camp for Children. This year our programme will include two weeks of Summer Camp totally devoted to Arts & Crafts for children between the ages of 5 and 12.

2011 Summer Camps
Dates: July 11-15 and July 18-22
We aim to accommodate everyone’s summer schedule with a MORNING OR AFTERNOON session to choose from. So for those of you that like to have a lie in and not rush around in the morning when school is out, our afternoon session is for you and your child!

Morning sessions: 9:30am to 12:30pm
Afternoon sessions: 1:30pm to 4:30pm
Our Summer Camp will be held at Scoil Mhuire, Ballymany, Newbridge--a secure environment with plenty of car parking available.

Camp Projects: Each day your child will work on a different project which will include an interesting mix of experiences from salt-dough moulds to painting on paper-covered canvas using die-cuttings to paper mache projects. Our main goal is to ensure that every child has a fun and exciting experience in a safe environment. Children will take home their own artwork when camp finishes on Friday.

Please refer to our website - www.clevercraftskildare.com - for further information and details.

Summer Camp Fee:
We realise that parents are under pressure to find quality summer camps at affordable prices, which is why we are offering places at just €50 per child. Your child's fee includes all arts & crafts materials that your child will use to create their own projects to take home!

The National Print Museum is hosting a Calligraphy workshop in July that sounds interesting. They have a great programme of workshops during the year.


Copied from their website:
Calligraphy: From Script to Scroll

Tutor: Frances Breen
Participants on this workshop will undertake a calligraphic journey on
continous lengths of paper. Experiment with quick, rhythmic and gestural
writing and slow meditative writing. A variety of traditional and inventive
writing tools and media will be used. Participants are invited to bring along
a personal choice of words and text.
Saturday 16 July, 11.30 - 16.30
(Max. 12 people) Cost: 60

The course is suitable for all levels, including beginners. Participants will be tutored on a one-to-one basis to support each person in realising their own project. Participants may be able to go away with a finished piece of work or with a sculpture that can be easily finished away from the studio. You may already have an idea of what you wish to carve. If you have no set ideas then that is fine; a suitable project can be set for you. Materials and tools will be provided, the only thing necessary to bring are steel capped safety boots.

Reviving this thread . . .
It is surprising how much interest there is in bodypainting in Ireland, considering how few people seem to be actively involved.
Cork has seen an explosion of interest in the last year since Nina Moore gave a free workshop for artists interested in trying it out. The results were extraordinary. This was in connection with the World Naked Bike Ride in July 2010, when all of those artists, plus 6 others painted intricate designs on many of the riders. The eight people who attended Nina's session, all working professional artists, in turn passed on the technique to many others, with the result that over 100 artists and models have attended sessions over the last 15 months.
The next bodypainting session in Cork is on Saturday 16th July 2011, starting at 12 noon. This is to paint 50 of the people who are taking part in the World Naked Bike Ride in Cork. At 6.00pm that evening, the artists' work goes on public display in the city centre, as the painted models will be cycling naked for over an hour, as part of the protest cycle. This transient art installation is a first for Ireland. The standard is very high, and already the Cork ride has gained a reputation for the artistic excellence of its bodypainting. See the online version of Irish newspapers for Tuesday 21st July 2010 for examples.
If you are interested in taking part in Cork's session on 16 July, the organisers can be contacted MOD SNIP - CONTACT VIA PM ONLY. and if you are interested in bodypainting in Dublin, there will be some people to paint at the Dublin Naked Bike Ride on Friday 15th July. MOD SNIP. CONTACT VIA PM ONLY.

Love browsing this section of the forum. Some amazing stuff!! Keep up the good work everyone.

Conceptart.org are having a sale on their downloads and prerecorded onlines streaming classes. Their each which works out as €5.60 through paypal.
Some of them are quite expensive normally so it's well worth a look.

EDIT: Sorry! Forgot the link: http://theartdepartment.org/store

Horse & June, the vintage boutique has opened up their studio to private sewing lessons.

These lessons are catered to those at any stage of knowledge whether it be absolute beginner or intermediate. The best thing about it is that the class is all yours and don’t need to try to keep up with any other students. All lessons will be done on a a domestic machine just like in their own home and if you even have your own machine, you can bring that too.

Lessons are €25 per hour including materials (not including materials needed for the final “from scratch project” as this depends on what you would like to make). There are no set amount of classes you have to take so contact me for your first, see how you go and take it from there! Classes are available at any time after 6pm Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and anytime on Sundays.

You’re in safe hands too, a fashion design graduate from Parsons the Newschool of Design in New York will not set you wrong!

For more info email horseandjune@live.com SNIP.

That's a fantastic idea!

But 25 euro per hour is WAY too expensive even if materials are included.

Grafton Fashion Academy or even adult classes at the local secondary school offer much better value.

gep2011

Grafton Academy and adult classes at the local secondary schools don't offer ONE-TO-ONE lessons.

Private classes where you are the only student means much greater learning potential and direct teacher to student attention. This is why it is €25.
