Testimonials
Read what our past students have to say about their experience with the Art, Craft & Design course at Abbeyleix FETC
“Abbeyleix Art Department holds some of my favourite memories and if it was not for this course I would not be where I am today!”

Hannah McCann
ACD Level 5 2013
“Returning to education as a mature student on the Art, Craft and Design programme has been a whole new experience. The year has been very positive and life changing for me. The opportunity to try all the different disciplines and techniques feels like a really good grounding as a whole and I am now looking forward to continuing my studies in art. The course has given me the confidence to continue on with art.”
