As an organisation, Hidden Ireland is deeply versed in tradition and our members are keen to maintain an interest in art, and in the traditional crafts and skills of Ireland.
To this end a number of Hidden Ireland Members arrange special residential courses where recognised authorities teach specific skills. These courses are open to all comers and are widely advertised, though they usually fill up quickly as places are limited. From time to time it is also possible to arrange a special course or courses, for a particular group, usually as an add-on to a group booking of family, friends or business associates.
The list of courses on offer is increasing, and details of new courses will be advertised on our web-sites, as they come on-stream. Meanwhile.
