I’ve had a few people asking me about online courses or classes that they can do, so I’ve decided to write about some that I know of. One of the positives about online courses is that it doesn’t matter what part of the country you are in to take part – as long as you have good internet.

Art Classes.
Learn to paint or draw with Póilín from the Open Door Gallery and Studio. These classes have gone from strength to strength, Póilín has embraced her new way of teaching and makes a fantastic job of it. I’ve been in both a drawing and a painting class and you can be sure of good lighting and excellent camera work with split cameras so you get to see exactly what Póilín is doing. She has a lovely, gentle way about her and it’s a very relaxing way to learn. You can find out more on the Facebook page.
