Leipreachán Classroom

 To celebrate St. Patrick's Day this year, here is a life drawing from when I was lucky enough to sit in on a Leipreachán (or Leprechaun as we know them) classroom. As you can see, the instructor is patiently explaining the do's and don'ts to his pupils as they eagerly absorb their cultural heritage. These open space classrooms are very hard to come by, but if you are respectful of their work, the instructors usually let one or two people observe the class. This is mostly due to not wanting to uproot the lesson, not for the viewer's enjoyment.

That being said, Happy St. Paddy's Day everyone!
