Creative Arts Classes
Drawing Celtic Mythology
Learn how the haunting and magical gods, goddesses, heroes, magicians, and landscapes of the Celtic realms can be given creative expression and re-interpretation in a class for beginners, returning students who have taken the class before, and enthusiasts at all levels. The principles of formal composition and color theory will be applied to this inspirational mythic and iconic imagery.
Note: students should bring paper, or a drawing notebook and preferred drawing materials (pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, etc.) Due to the delicate nature of the library, paint, charcoal, and pastels are not permitted.

Ten Tunes to Rule Them All, The Celtic Music Diaspora
The diffusion of Celtic traditional music was an epic journey. This research-based survey course tells the tale in terms of 10 (or so) classic tunes and songs that crossed the Atlantic and came to “rule” regional repertories across North America. Images, videos, recordings and live performances help tell the story. Musicians and non- musicians alike should enjoy this seminar.
