Computer Courses
Names are now being taken for the next 10 week sessions. These run throughout the year in Basic Computing, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel. People do not need to have any previous computer experience to undertake the Basic Computing course. The courses focus on working with a small group of people on a one to one basis at a pace that suits them. People who attended the courses are now able to make cards, calendars, keep workbooks, and easily complete internet shopping and banking. These courses include night time sessions as well as day courses.
Hobbies Groups
There is a small amount of places on our stitch-craft group which meets every Tuesday morning. There is also a card making and hobbies class on a Tuesday Afternoon and both Thursday morning and afternoon. Classes cost £1.50 with refreshments included. These classes allow people to meet new friends and learn new skills from each other.
Art Classes
Community art classes run by Karyn Fraser MA, are currently being held in our premises as well as Clyth Hall and Lybster Outdoor Bowling Hall. These classes offer a step by step approach in which students learn about line, shading, tone, form, texture, pattern and composition using mediums including pencil, ink, charcoal, watercolours, acrylics and water-based oils and a variety of brushes. Participants can apply for their Individual Learning Account which will pay the annual course fees for these sessions. Highland Council have also contributed to the costs.
Mixed Media and Fibre Classes
This group run by Bettine Bain meets at PPP on Tuesday evenings. A new 10 week course will commence on Tuesday 19th January 2010 at Caberfeidh Court from 10:30 to 12:30. The course teaches students how to dye and prepare yarns and fabrics for using in both experimental work and to make finished art pieces.
Due to popular demand we are now starting a further course to run for 10 weeks commencing on Wednesday evening, 3rd February. There are still a few places available so to avoid disappointment contact the office to book your place.
Anyone wanting more information or to participate in any of the courses offered should contact Pulteneytown People’s Project on 01955 606950 or
Over 70 people a week attend our hobbies classes and it is a great way to meet new friends and spend time over the winter months.
