    I'd like to invite you to my Halloween Special FX workshop in Galway on Tuesday 27th October!
    At the Commercial Boat Club, Woodquay, cost €25 (inc all materials), suitable for ages 10 +, starting 1pm - 3pm. Maximum 10 places, prior booking essential.
    If there is a lot of interest I will host 2 classes, one from 1 - 3, the second from 3 - 5pm, and I will split the age groups into 10 - 18 and 18 +.
    I will teach you the basics of special FX, and on the day expect to create realistic burns, zombie-skin, a bullet wound, and cuts & bruises...perfect for Halloween!
    Be prepared to practice on each other!

    Email [email protected] or PM me for more information or booking.

    Hey everybody!

    Besides our fortnightly Drink & Draw Meetings we'd like to meet up from now and then to spend a few hours sketching and drawing in different places, such as the sculpture hall in the Crawford Gallery in Cork for example. This Thurs, 22nd, we meet at 6pm at the entrance of the Gallery, everybody who's interested is very much welcome to join us. =)

    Thanks,
    Eva

    Sounds fantastic!! If I was in Cork I'd be there for sure! Best of luck with it - I haven't been in the Crawford in years at this stage!

    We're hoping to make Cork our next destination for a weekend sketchy booze up - it's looking like it will be in the New Year at this stage, but it gives you guys time to start organising some joint events :D

    Brilliant! I keep my fingers crossed, would be cool to meet you guys from Dub and we could doodle around all together. Keep me posted, ok? =)

    could this be....

    The Republic of Ireland's first Face Painting Jam!

    Date: Sunday 29th November
    time:
    Venue: Menlo Park Hotel, Galway City
    Cost: €10, to cover room hire and teas/coffees. This is a non-profit event.

    Calling all Face Painters!
    I'm hosting a 1 day face painting "jam" session at the Menlo Park Hotel, for beginners, 'hobby' painters, and professional face painters alike! Every one of every level is most welcome.
    Bring your kit (if you have one) to work with, you will definitely be encouraged to get painting! I have a small number of kits available to borrow/share if you don't have your own...

    Starting at 10am, (although you can drop in/out at any time over the course of the day!), The morning will be given over to setting up your kits, meeting fellow face painters, networking, sharing tips and advice, and 'poking around' in each others kits - with permission, of course! - to see what products people are using / how they're using them.
    It's hard to try before you buy in Ireland, and so I'm hoping this will give you an opportunity to look at other brands and colours of paints/glitters that are available.

    From around 11.30 / 12, there will various face painting demonstrations - this is your chance to pick up new designs for the Christmas season - I will be concentrating on Quick Christmas designs - to try out variations on old favourites, and maybe jazz up your face painting repetoire...

    At 2.30/3pm, there will be an informal face painting competition! (complete with prizes!) The theme is "Christmas", so get thinking of original, bright ideas! (Hint: you could look at xmas cards for inspiration)

    Everyone is welcome, this will be a friendly, informal "jam" and a great chance to improve your face painting skills in a no-pressure environment! And if you feel like you have skills to share, even better! Let's make this work!

    More info at www.popartz.com , email [email protected]

    Thanks!

    There is a fantastic art teacher in the carrickmines area dublin 18. I found her name in www.fundays.ie . She runs Clayworks, but also does portfolio and Junior and Senior Art classes at weekends. I attnded one of the Adult courses and I can honestly say she is without doubt one of the best art teachers I have ever had. She has links with IMMA and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Artist Panel. If you want to give a gift for life, its worth attending her classes.

    Does anyone know of a good course for sewing and altering? I would like it if it was one that came with a qualification or certificate at the end of the course.

    I'd also like to know of a good embroidery course and one for dress making.

    Thanks in advance!
