Painting & Observation: Portraiture & Figure Painting From Life
# Painting & Observation: Portraiture & Figure Painting From Life // A 6 Week Course with Artist Bríd Higgins Ní Chinnéide // Starts Wednesday April 15 // 10:00 - 13:00
BOOK HERE - https://www.tickettailor.com/events/skillsets/2113584
**Skillsets** is delighted to welcome back artist Bríd Higgins Ní Chinnéide to teach a new 6 week course focusing on painting from life.
This is an oil painting from life course with a live model present for each class.
Each pose in this course will be for 2 weeks and each pose will have a different focus, for example focusing on the structure of the face, hands, drapery, colour, etc.
The course will include demonstrations and guidance from the artist, as well as an opportunity to paint faces, hands and clothing from life.
The exercises will concentrate on quick responses to anatomical form and colour as well as discussions about the various decisions to be made in creating a strong composition. Bríd will also offer guidance on the use of oil paints and materials.
This course is open to all but will most benefit people with some painting experience to hone their observation and alla prima oil painting skills.
We welcome returning students from Brid’s previous courses at the same time.
Class will run from 10:00 until 13:00 every Wednesday morning for 6 weeks.
### Course Fee: €280

Expect filmmakers, artists, editors, designers, engineers, and curious builders joining from across Europe. People whose work touches worlds like **Netflix, Prime Video, Game of Thrones, and more**. People who understand craft. People who understand systems. People who are early. People who want in.
You’ll get free access to Frontier video and audio models and spend **day one** making, testing, and pushing ideas into short films with other people who care deeply about what ends up on screen, before premiering the best work **on day two**.

**Day 2 is the premiere.**
We move from build mode to screening mode. The films will be shown in a cinema space as part of a preferred black tie evening, with judges from both the creative and technical worlds, and the night will close with an award ceremony for the films that leave a mark.

DubJUG 264: GONG & Agentic AI Tools
This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady.
DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>>
https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq
Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!)
## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools
Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how.
## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices**
In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when.
Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem.
Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.
Is Claude AI Right For Your Business?

The Story So Far: A WiA Reflection Circle
A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange
At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter.
This is the follow-up.
Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now.
Together, we’ll explore:
• What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in
• What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted
• What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know
If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now.
Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back.
The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter.
Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate.
What to Expect
• A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup)
• Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak
• Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving
• Optional creative reflection alongside conversation
• A calm, supportive environment
Who This Is For
Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords.
Good to Know
• No preparation required
• If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited
• Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome
• Creative activities are optional
Agile Coaching Circle -- IN-PERSON
Join other experienced and aspiring agile coaches and professionals to:
* develop and practice your coaching skills in a peer-to-peer environment
* share current successes and challenges in your work environment and get support from each other
* learn from each other, build better relationships and experiment with new ideas
***NOTE:*** Pre-registration is required for this event. **Please arrive 10 minutes early** to check in at the security desk.
Prompt vs. Paintbrush
AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s?
This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation?
We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
