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 Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and on Thursday morning. 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. 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, 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.

Anyone wanting more information or to participate in any of the courses offered should contact Pulteneytown People’s Project.

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.
