Crochet Classes and Important Painting at Cork School of Art

Minutes from the Technical Instruction Cork Borough Committee:

Due to the circumstances of the Irish Civil War many classes including Building Construction saw the number of enrolled students drop dramatically. Such was the decrease in Building Construction (usually between 30 to 40 students per annum) that the Committee decided to suspend the first year of the class.

‘The Principal, School of Art, reported that the Day Crochet Class had seven students registered, with an average attendance of about 4. The explanation given by the teacher was that in her opinion the fee, twice that of the Lace Drawing Class at night, the average attendance was 5. These matters were referred to the School of Art Sub-Committee’.
