Beginner’s Classes
These 6 week classes are designed to introduce you to a new skill
or medium which you may not have considered before. Offered
in a fun and friendly environment, they are the perfect way to try
something new this summer.
Drawing
Saul Robertson BA
This introductory class explains through practical activity the
progressive steps towards making an accurate freehand drawing.
Steps range from two-dimensional elements such as line, tone and
shape to three-dimensional elements such as form, pattern, texture
and perspective. Emphasis will be on practical exercises exploring
a variety of drawing techniques. By the end of the class you should
have produced a sketchbook of satisfying drawings. Students
should bring along: an A3 cartridge pad, an HB, 2B and 4B pencil,
an eraser, a sharpener, one stick of willow charcoal, one putty
rubber and one large and one small conté blending stump.

painting exercise and be introduced to a variety of traditional and
contemporary watercolour painting techniques - for example,
using washes, resists, masking out, wax, salt, body, sponging out
and sponging on. Tutor demonstration and instruction, combined
with individual tuition will allow you to fully appreciate this versatile
medium and improve your artistic ability. Students should bring
along: an A3 watercolour block pad 300gsm, a watercolour set,

Pastels
Elaine Woo Macgregor BA
If you have some drawing experience and you wish to develop
your skills in working with soft pastels, this class is for you. You
will draw landscapes, animals, portraits and still life. Soft pastel is
a beautiful, tactile medium which can be used as an expressive
drawing tool for quick drawings to highly finished art work that
appears like a painting. There will be tutor demonstration at the
start of each week. Students should bring along: a set of soft
pastels (minimum 12 colours), a charcoal pencil, an eraser, a craft
knife, masking tape, loose sheets of Ingres pastel paper or sugar
paper in neutral colours (greens, greys or earth colours) and a
can of hairspray/fixative.

Sculpture
Todd Garner BA MFA
Clay is one of the most versatile modelling materials and has
been used to make sculptural forms since 2000BC. This class
will introduce you to various modelling techniques whilst creating
work on a different subject matter each week so that at the end of
the class you should have four sculptures of your own. Tuition
will be by demonstration, group and individual. It will be creative,
fun and a little messy! No experience is required and those who
have worked with clay before will still find new challenges and
improvements. All work requires firing and can therefore be
collected at a later date, to be arranged.

Oil Pastels
Traditional Chinese Brush and Ink Painting
Oil pastel is a versatile and easy to set up medium, which can
be used as a drawing and painting medium. It works differently
to soft pastels as it behaves more like oil paints in crayon
form. This class covers the basic techniques in working with
oil pastels. Through practical demonstrations, the tutor will
show how to render a wide range of subjects, from flowers
and animals to landscapes and portraits. By the end of the
class you will gain confidence in drawing and acquire a better
understanding of the oil pastel medium. Suitable for all levels
of ability. Materials required for this course are: oil pastels
(12 colours minimum), good quality brand recommended e.g.
Sennelier, Van Gogh or Inscribe, 6 sheets of oil pastel paper
approx. A3 size, 1x 2B pencil, masking tape and an optional
extra - a taper point 2 rubber pointed brush (for blending).
This one day workshop is a taster class for those interested in
Traditional Chinese Painting using brush and sumi-ink with rice
paper. This workshop covers painting subjects like peonies,
Chinese mountain scenery and bamboo. A brief introduction to
the history of Chinese Painting will be given at the start, followed
by tutor demonstrations and a practical lesson. This class is
suitable for all levels of ability. Materials required for this course
are: Chinese ink/sumi ink, Chinese brushes (in sizes small,
medium and large or 4, 6, 8 round), 1 small box of watercolours
(optional), 1 roll of rice paper, paper weights (could be 4 clean

Oil Painting Taster
Saul Robertson BA
This workshop is designed as a short ‘taster’ for those interested
in exploring oil painting. Oil painting is often thought of as a
medium suited to slow, methodical work. However, this versatile
medium can be just as suited to painting in short bursts of
concentrated work. This workshop will explore ‘alla prima’ painting
(making a painting in one sitting) which is a great way to introduce
you to this wonderful medium. It is suitable for students with some
experience of basic drawing. Oil paints and appropriate paper will
be provided. Students should bring along: a selection of different
size brushes suitable for oil/acrylic painting and a plastic Double
Dipper for oil/turps.

Sensing the Holy - The Cult of Relics and
Christianity
Patrick Parsons MA PGCE
The veneration of the relics of Christ, the martyrs and the saints has
been central to the beliefs of Catholic Christians since at least the
4th century AD. Yet the history of the cult of relics is not only one of
faith and belief but also one of conflict and the struggle for earthly
power, with believers and non-believers seeking to affirm or deny
their authenticity. Sometime around 400 AD Vigilantius of Calagurris
asked the question ‘Why do you kiss and adore a bit of powder
wrapped up in a cloth?’ In uncovering the fascinating history of
relics in Christianity we will attempt to answer his fundamental
question. We will look at the origins of the cult of relics in the Late
Antique world, those who propagated the theology of relics and
those who opposed them, the reasons for their popularity and
spread throughout Christendom, and the influence of relics on
Christian religiosity and politics. The course will climax with a case
study of the most famous and controversial relic of Christ - The
Shroud of Turin. Relic, icon or fake? Does it matter?

Lions in the East - The Third Crusade 1188-92
Patrick Parsons MA PGCE
The best known of the medieval crusades and the most romantic
courtesy of Sir Walter Scott and Hollywood, the Third Crusade is
also the most misunderstood. It has been seen as a titanic struggle
between two legendary leaders, Richard the Lion Heart, king of
England, and Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, but the real story
of the crusade is far more fascinating. Drawing on a rich range of
Christian and Muslim sources, we will discover how the crusade
was preached and its cost, the experience of crusading in the Holy
Land, and the nature of crusading warfare and its conduct. Was
Richard the brilliant soldier he is portrayed as in popular myth?
Why has Saladin been remembered as the epitome of a chivalrous
enemy? Was it the last successful crusade to the Holy Land or just
another failure overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the task?
In the wake of the American Civil War the Confederate South lay in
ruins. Total military defeat was exacerbated by the end of slavery
and the destruction of the once prosperous ante-bellum southern
economy. But how would the South be treated by the Union victors?
Who would be punished? What future was there for the over four
million emancipated slaves? This class examines the attempted
remodelling of Southern society through revolutionary legislation
by Radical Republicans and the quest of freed slaves for economic
autonomy and equal citizenship. It also explores the reasons why
these revolutionary initiatives collapsed, in the face of the rise of
the Ku Klux Klan and the worst period of domestic terrorism in
American history; the emergence of legal restrictions on the exslave population in the shape of the infamous Black Codes and the
creation of a system of segregation and racial discrimination which
would not be successfully challenged for almost a century.

The Bloody Somme
Thomas Dowds BA MLitt Dip Ed ACP FSAScot
As the war on the Western Front became bogged down in 1915
and French attempts to beat the deadlock failed at Verdun,
Britain decided to attempt a breakthrough in the Somme Valley
and recruited large numbers of troops to prepare for the biggest
military operation ever mounted. The campaign opened on 1 July
1916 and from the start was a disaster that led to the greatest loss
of life ever suffered by the British Army in one day, and over the
summer and autumn, descended into a series of battles to take
enemy trenches and gain ground before petering out into trench
warfare by November. The Somme has become emblematic of
the waste of life in the First World War. This class examines the
campaign, using contemporary sources, to assess why it still lives
on in the memory of later generations. A class booklet is included
in the fee.

JFK and America in Early 1960s
Tom O’Hara MA MSc PGCE
Back due to popular demand, this class covers one of the most
controversial periods in American history. The contrast between
John F Kennedy and Dwight D Eisenhower, the president who
preceded him, could not have been sharper. Kennedy was
younger, more dynamic and along with his wife Jackie, he
became one of the most photographed figures of the 1960s.
Some saw him as an icon for a new age, but beneath the glamour
there was a darker side to Kennedy which involved potential
sex scandals and powerful adversaries who felt betrayed by his
policies and actions. Drawing on a range of sources you will
investigate a balanced analysis of the political development and
presidency of Kennedy and the remarkable period in history he
lived through.

J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI
Red Clydeside: The Beginnings
J.Edgar Hoover, the longest serving director of the FBI, was one
of the most remarkable and influential figures in 20th century
America. To those who adhere to the official line of the FBI he was
a pioneer of modern forensic methods of detective work and an
inspirational leader. While accepting that he had some insights
into effective systems of criminal investigation, a number of recent
biographers and historians argue that his ego and ambition often
got in the way and that some of the FBI’s activities when he was
director had little to do with fighting crime. This short class will
evaluate J. Edgar Hoover’s leadership and his involvement in
some of the most controversial incidents in the 20th century.
Concerned about the supply of war materials the British Government
attempted to increase the workforce through legislation. Skilled
workers were required to have a certificate allowing them to change
employer, and it was decided to increase the workforce by employing
women and unskilled workers to undertake skilled work. This caused
resentment and led to the formation of the Clyde Workers’ Committee
to resist the changes. Coming at a time when the Peace Movement
was active, opposition was growing to the proposal to introduce
conscription, and a revolt by women who refused to pay increased
rents, the government resorted to the law to smash workers’
resistance. Opposition to the government led to the emergence of
a group of workers who, after the Russian Revolution in late 1917,
came to be regarded as ‘Red Clydesiders’. This class looks at how
this came about. A class booklet is included in the fee.

Through the Keyhole: The Royal Stewarts...
June Edgar BSc DipLib ALA MBA FRSA
From 1357 to 1689 one family ruled Scotland and later
Britain. This family united a nation, furthering a bloodline
that claimed connection with the ancient Israelites. Redhaired, red-blooded and often red-handed, they survived
through the bloodiest period of Scottish history, and Prince
William today can claim more Stewart blood than any Royal
since. Led by an STGA Blue Badge Tourist Guide, you will
learn through artefacts, anecdotes and storytelling about
this fascinating dynasty. Students are responsible for their
own travel arrangements. Please dress for the weather.
1 DAY
…in Stirling
You will visit Stirling Castle, an ancient fortress which became a
Renaissance Palace, designed to show the wealth and culture of the
Scottish king to the world. The marriage of the Thistle and the Rose
took place here and a king stabbed a nobleman 26 times before
throwing his body from a window. From the castle you can see where
the battles of Sauchieburn, Bannockburn and Stirling Bridge took
place. You will walk down into Stirling itself, via the Old Town, viewing
the great houses of Stewart nobles, and the Church of the Holy
Rude, which hosted royal baptisms and coronations, and still bears
scars from sieges by Bonnie Prince Charlie and by General Monck
in the English Civil War. There will be an additional fee for entry into
Stirling Castle of approximately £14.50 for adults and £11.60 for
seniors - free if you have a Historic Scotland pass.

and Scotland. After a guided walk in the footsteps of the Stewarts
down the Royal Mile, you will see and hear about the Palace of
Holyrood House, built by James IV for his 14 year old English bride,
followed by an optional visit to the rooms where Mary Queen of
Scots’ musician was murdered and the rich apartments prepared
for the Restoration of Charles II. There will be an additional fee for

Nationalism: Scotland and Beyond
Minna Liinpää MA MRes
During and following the Scottish independence referendum in
2014, issues around nationalism have featured widely in the media
and in politics. This class aims to provide students with a good
understanding of the different sociological, historical and political
facets of nationalism. We will consider different theories and use
examples from Scotland and beyond to illustrate these in practice.
Each week the class format will consist of a lecture followed by
a seminar where students have the chance to ask questions and
to discuss the issues covered, in small groups. On completion,
you should be able to explain and analyse competing theories of
nationalism; understand and explain key concepts relating to its
study; and identify and explain practical examples of nationalism
derived from politics, the media and your everyday lives.

space and light, and discover some of the fixtures and fittings that
bring long-forgotten businesses and industries back to life. We’ll
also unearth some hidden architectural gems, see how commercial
buildings have been repurposed as shops and houses, and take a
“backstage view” of the goods entrances and courtyards that kept
the city moving. There will be a break for lunch (own arrangements).
A shortened version of this walk will be offered in the evening.

Canals of the West of Scotland
Canals were the motorways of their day, allowing large cargoes
to travel great distances cheaply and efficiently, and giving easy
access to new markets. This event looks at the canals in the
west of Scotland - Monkland, Forth & Clyde, Glasgow, Paisley &
Johnstone, and Crinan - and shows how they greatly improved
the economies of the places they linked. We will look at how
they were planned, ﬁnanced, designed and built, often involving
innovative civil engineering methods, and the range of industries
they supported along their banks. We will also examine the current
importance of the canals for business, recreation and wildlife. The
class consists of a morning lecture and discussion, followed by a

Heraldry: an introduction
Bruce Durie OMLI BSc PhD FSAScot FCollT FIGRS FHEA
Heraldry (or, more correctly, Armory) is often dismissed as mere
symbology. But there is a body of laws – more strictly enshrined in
legislation in Scotland than anywhere else – and a historical, legal
and ceremonial context that makes it a strictly regulated part of
modern Scotland. Anyone with an interest in history, genealogy,
Scottish society or law should understand the laws and science
of heraldry. You will come to understand that heraldry is a vital,
living aspect of Scots law and culture with the same roots as
our distinctive legal system and heraldic literature (aspilogia,
armouries etc.) is an important part of Scotland’s literary treasury.
There are historical and genealogical clues extant in Arms for
genealogy, history and cultural appreciation. By the end of the
day, you should be able to correctly blazon a Coat of Arms and,

Maps for Family Historians
Maps are an invaluable resource for family history research. They
can help identify where our ancestors lived and worked, and help
put their lives into context. They can also shed light on old and
forgotten place names, and suggest many avenues for further
archive research. This class outlines the many map resources
available in libraries, archives and online, with a strong focus on
working directly with old maps to research and solve genealogical
problems. We will have one classroom session, one visit to a map
library, one hands-on session with online maps, and a guided
walk using old maps in a modern context (please dress for the
weather). Bring a family history problem you think maps could
help solve!

The Summer Morning Choir
Alan Tavener Conductor & Outreach Leader, Cappella Nova
Kick-start your week in the company of – and in harmony with
– other like-minded people. Building upon the popularity of the
Centre’s established Morning Choir, this is a unique opportunity
to carry on singing during the summer months, and to engage
in an uplifting variety of accessible songs ranging from the Age
of Swing and Songs from The Shows to folk and world songs.
Practical guidance will be given in preparing the voice for singing,
and in gaining a basic understanding of music notation to

attended Edward Caswell’s classes at the Centre for Lifelong
Learning would answer a resounding ‘yes’ to this question. But
since 2008 in his popular ‘Health and Wellbeing through Song’

in terms of their own singing and their ability to sing in parts with
others. So, if you enjoy singing in the shower or in the car, we
can offer you an informal atmosphere where participants will be
introduced to the basics of singing and by the end of the day be
singing a selection of songs from widely differing traditions. As
ever the emphasis will be on enjoyment!

Do you have some experience of group or solo singing, or have
you attended our ‘Singing by Sight’ classes? If you have some
confidence following musical notation and pitching notes, but
would also like to be able to understand more about the theory
behind this, then this singing day will be suitable for you. As well
as offering you practice in pitching, through the use of words/
music sheets, we will also sing familiar songs together as well as
learning some new ones. You will gain a deeper understanding
of pitch relationships (‘intervals’), key signatures, rhythmic
relationships and time signatures. As well as offering members
of choirs and teachers a greater appreciation of how musical
notation ‘works’, this class will also be appropriate for those
working towards a musical theory examination up to and including
Grade Five Associated Board level or equivalent.

Herb Garden Tour
Know Your Trees
Herbs are plants that grow wild in your neighbourhood and
throughout much of the country. They have been collected and
used for millennia by the local population. In our distant past
they provided the only medicine and the only available vegetable
food. Local people knew their local plants intimately. Sadly, that
knowledge has, over time, slowly dwindled. But, over the past
few years, people are moving back towards ‘the natural’. This
tour through the herb garden of ‘The Botanics’ looks at medicinal
plants, scented plants, dye plants and edible plants. Please dress
for the weather.
It is said that thousands of years ago a (red) squirrel could climb
a tree on the south coast of England and walk through the tree
tops until it reached northern Scotland without once touching the
ground. But what were those trees? What were the first trees to
colonise the British Isles at the end of the last ice age. Were they
the same familiar trees we know today? These questions and
more will be answered on a walk around the Botanic Gardens
looking at our familiar natives as well as the many exotics that
thrive in Glasgow’s warm and wet West End. Please dress for the

MUGDOCK COUNTRY PARK Mugdock Country Park is a tourist attraction and country park 10 miles north of Glasgow covering 260 hectares which offers a range of
activities and events. Mugdock has a locally and regionally significant historical heritage. The areas within and bordering the country
park supported many early settlers with natural springs and well-stocked hunting grounds. There may also have been a Bronze Age farm
located south of the weather station and crannogs in the loch. Examples of built history within the park include the medieval Mugdock
Castle, 18th century ruin Craigend Castle and the WW2 gun sites. Social history pertaining to Mugdock Zoo and the Clan Graham are
well documented. In addition the magic of Mugdock can be seen through the unique, remote woodland, moorland and loch landscapes.
To find out more about Mugdock Country Park, visit www.mugdock-country-park.org.uk
The Mugdock Experience
Mugdock Country Park, which is near Milngavie to the north of
Glasgow, offers a wealth of historical and landscape attractions
for visitors. Among these are a 13th century Norman castle built
by James Graham, the first Marquis of Montrose; a Drowning
Pond used in Covenanting times; and a Gallow Hill, where
Patrick MacNicoll was hanged for murder in 1718. Much earlier
sites include an Iron Age Crannog in Mugdock Loch, and farms
from both the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. There is also a
Second World War gun site, part of the anti-aircraft defence of
the Clyde Basin. The first meeting will outline the history of the
country park, and the various sites within it, and the second

Ghosts of the Titan Crane: Working Lives
Brian Whittingham TQFE
Shipbuilding on the Clyde is cloaked in folklore and fond
reminiscing. It was one of the most influential industries in
Scotland producing many fine ships that were to become a
worldwide measure of quality and longevity. They were branded
‘the good old days’, but were they? This class documents the
journey of the Black Squad during the building of the QE2. It
will also explore the working worlds within which we live beyond
shipyards. Using source material of film, poetry, fiction and social
documentary you will learn about the realities of the humour and
pathos of an industry and a job market that is no more. It will
offer you an introduction to how various art forms represent the
industrial heritage of Scotland and how you may connect with

Facing the World: Self-Portraits from
Rembrandt to Ai Weiwei
Inspiring Impressionism: an introduction to
Charles-François Daubigny
This summer the Scottish National Portrait Gallery is staging an
exhibition of self-portraits. The exhibition spans six centuries and
covers artists ranging from David Wilkie to Marina Abramovic
and Rembrandt to Edvard Munch. With self-portraits becoming
increasingly important in our age of social media, this exhibition
is perfectly placed to survey both the historical and contemporary
exploration of the subject. The classes will begin with an
introduction to portraiture and some of the key artists in the
exhibition. The following week will consist of a guided tour of the
exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. Students
will be responsible for their own travel arrangements.
Charles-François Daubigny (1817-1878) was an important
influence in the development of 19th century landscape painting.
The National Gallery in Edinburgh is staging the first major
international exhibition of this artist. The exhibition will show
how this artist anticipated and influenced many of the practices
associated with Impressionism. Through the exhibition the
juxtapositions of the work of Monet, Pissarro, Van Gogh and
others highlight the interactions and mutual influence between
Daubigny and the Impressionists. The class will consist of an
illustrated lecture in week 1 followed by a tour of the show in
week 2 at the National Gallery in Edinburgh. Students will be
responsible for their own travel arrangements.

- The Wines of Spain and Portugal
James Preacher WSET
There is a lot more to Spain than Sherry and Rioja and a lot
more to Portugal than Port. The Iberian Peninsula has a long
winemaking history and now there are many Spanish and
Portuguese wines appearing on our shelves. Both countries have
modernised their wine industries since joining the E.U. but have
retained their regional styles. Many more Spanish regions are
making quality wine and Portugal is to be celebrated for sticking
with her indigenous grapes which has helped her retain her
individuality. In this class we will look at wines made from local

Healthy Brain Prescriptions
12 Steps to Greater Happiness
Feeling confused by the information on how to stay sharp? In this
seminar discuss the impact of diet, exercise, and stress reduction
which can enhance the brain’s resilience. How do we enhance
decision-making, problem-solving, learning and memory?
Discover more about maintaining what we already know while
being open to new ideas. Learn how to increase the odds of still
being sharp as a tack at 100! Watch video clips with suggestions
from neuroscientists and others, together with links to web-based
articles and informative websites.
If you are happy already, learn how to stay that way or do you
think you can become a little happier? Happiness can affect your
health, literally from head to toe – from the ‘joy juices’ in your brain
to the pep in your step! This seminar will include strategies that
can shift outlook, including heightened appreciation, gratitude and
optimism about life. In video clips you will hear from researchers
and some ‘happy people’. We will explore the Buddhist saying ‘there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way.’

GIVE IT A GO
The aim of these beginner-level classes is to provide those with minimal or no knowledge of their chosen language the chance to
enhance and gain skills in communicating effectively in that language. The classes will be conversational in nature but will also look
at basic sentence formation and grammar. This will be achieved by using a variety of situations in which travellers abroad may find
themselves. It is suited to those who may be going abroad for business or holidays as well as those who wish to gain the basics in the
language for their own personal development. Acquiring foreign language skills is an excellent way to improve career prospects as
well as to broaden horizons and become aware of other cultures. The classes will be taught in a friendly and welcoming environment
designed to maximise the learning experience. These classes can lead into the accredited language classes which commence from
October 2016 and are part of the Open Studies Certificate.

TALK
These classes offer those who have some knowledge of the language the chance to improve their skills. The focus is on speaking and
listening but consolidation of grammar will also feature. Again, this class is suited to those who may be going abroad for business
reasons as well as those who wish to gain the basics in the language for their own personal development. Tutors will use a variety of
materials in the target language to enhance the learning experience and build on vocabulary. You will also look at the culture of the
country to deepen your understanding and enjoyment if you have the chance to visit. It is suitable for those who have completed ‘Stage
1A’ or ‘Stage 1B’ classes at the Centre or are learning the language at a similar level elsewhere. These classes can lead into the creditbearing language classes which commence from October 2016 and are part of the Open Studies Certificate.

The most advanced level we offer in the summer and for those with a good knowledge of the language. As with the previous classes, it is
suitable for students with varying study goals, different skills or personal development needs and is designed to increase your confidence
in speaking in the target language. Authentic press, television and Internet resources will be used to link the content to the language
and topical issues in those countries. It is suitable for those who have completed three years or more of language study at the Centre
or similar elsewhere, and who wish to consolidate what they have learned so far. These classes can lead into language classes which

Break into Hebrew
Spain: Truth and Reality
Join this taster class for a lively introduction to modern Hebrew
aimed at those with little or no prior knowledge of the language.
Come along and learn through group work in a warm and
welcoming environment. By the end of the session, you will be
familiar with some phrases to use in everyday situations.
This class will look at Spanish Cinema, focusing on films that
portray the everyday dramas that affect ordinary people in
contemporary life. Spanish filmmakers spurn Hollywood‘s
idealised versions of life and the stereotypes generally preferred
by the American cinema, instead connecting with the viewer at
the most fundamental level. It is a real life in cinema, accurately
portrayed and full of truth. You will experience the true essence
of Spanish cinema with the help of one of the most important
cinema directors currently in Spain, Fernando León de Aranoa.
Come along and discover why Spanish film directors prefer
intense realism rather than the typical romantic comedy. A film
by Fernando León de Aranoa will be shown during the class as
an example of its genre and you will have the opportunity for
questions and debate afterwards. The class will be conducted
entirely in Spanish but will be guided by the tutor to be at a level
suitable for anyone who has completed Spanish ‘Stage 2’ or
above at the Centre. Come along and get some Spanish practice
as well as an insight into filmmaking in Spain.

Spain: Truth and Tradition
Emma Sanchez-Quinones Ballestero MLitt
Spain, its culture and its history are renowned around the world
but there is so much more to discover. Contemporary Spain has
more depth and substance than the superficial image projected
by today’s tourist industry. It comprises so much more than just
fun and entertainment. There are many events in its history,
society and culture for you to discover. This class aims to reveal
the real Spanish culture without stereotyping Spain and its people.
We will discuss the most important influences that differentiate it,
making it the exceptional country it is today including the political
upheavals which have had such a profound effect. Among
areas we shall look at are: Spanish music, cinema and dance;
literature and journalism; social movements, traditions, food
and celebrations and lastly, spoken dialects. This class will be
conducted in English.

The Periodic Table of the Elements
William Raftery BSc PhD
The Periodic Table has been a source of inspiration and curiosity
not only for chemists but also for industrialists, artists and
musicians. This seminar aims to unlock some of the mysteries
of the Periodic Table and explain how it evolved. The quest to
discover elements and the part played by their reactivity will
be explored. You will also examine the relationship between
the names and symbols of elements. Finally, the history of the
Periodic Table and its development into its present day structure
and use will be covered.

Introducing Catastrophes
Seumas Bates MSc PhD
This class introduces the political, social, and cultural impact
of large scale disaster, and offers those interested in ‘Disaster
Studies’ a taster of this discipline. It will offer an accessible
introduction for those interested in better understanding the
threat, impact, and recovery from large-scale disaster beyond the
often-limited reviews offered by the media. Indeed, the role the
media can play in (mis)reporting how a disaster is unfolding will
be a key topic of study. By using real world examples and cutting
edge research, students on this class should learn more about
famous large-scale disaster-processes (considering their cause,
impact, and recovery), as well as how scholars have sought to
examine and analyse them. Each class will begin with a lecture
which will introduce core themes of study, as well as important
case-studies, and will be followed by a discussion and question
and answer session.

Turning Photographs into Paintings
Brian Lochrin LIIP
This class will help you to create a painting effect from your
photographs using the filters and layers functions contained in
Photoshop Elements. The technique can used in its own right or
form the basis for further experimentation. Sample images will be
supplied to demonstrate the technique, however participants may
wish to bring an image on a memory stick. The class is ideally
suited to those with a basic knowledge of Photoshop Elements.
However as detailed notes on how to create the effect are
supplied, it will also introduce novices to the creative possibilities
of the software.

Create Your Own Online Photo Album
In this practical class you will learn how to create a personalised
photo album online. Dozens of templates are available or
customise your pages. The album is saved as you create it and
the online programme allows you to sign in at home, add more
pictures and edit. When you are satisfied with the results you
can order a printed copy or share the album with others online or
post on Facebook. A book can make a great present for special
birthdays, holidays or occasions. For sharp results select good
quality digital images (JPEGs) and upload to a memory stick
which you bring to the class. Information will be sent out prior to
the class on ways of organising your pictures. In the second
class you will continue to use more online tools, receive individual
tuition and will be shown some alternative software to download at
home for free. Your password-protected album can be accessed
on your home computer or laptop after the class, so there is no
rush to finalise the album during the class. Students require basic
internet skills e.g. able to use passwords, use email, access
picture files and navigate websites.
