Hi everyone, just a message to let you all know that classes will not be returning this September. The restrictions and requirments for education are unworkable for me unfortunately. I believe these measures would hinder my ability foster a creative and artistic space for youngsters. Hopfully when the dust settles next year we'll take another look at it. I'll leave you with this video of the late Sir Ken Robinson who inspired me to start teaching. Much Love, Conor.
