"I joined a Painting Masterclass which challenged and stretched my abilities and encouraged me to paint weekly to really improve my skills. From my first class I knew I chose the right place to study, I felt welcome and enjoyed meeting my fellow students. RHACC offers a wide range of art class for beginners and experienced students, in a convenient location." - Jutta Gloeckner's Painting & Drawing Masterclass, Mondays 9:30-13:30
“I've always wanted to learn how to make Jewellery all my life, so as soon as I retired, I applied to RHACC. Thursday is now my favourite day of the week because of my course and my teacher Linda is really good and supportive. I really appreciate the great facilities like the jewellery studio, local carpark and cafe. I have made good friends and enjoy the company, doing these classes gives my week structure which you lose when you stop work.”
'We are the adult learners who started the Drawing from Scratch course together in November 2022. We are all around retirement age and have a bit more time on our hands. We were all novices and the course seemed an ideal way to dip a toe in the water. We have enjoyed it so much we have kept coming back for more!''
''I've always enjoyed taking photographs but when I got a new camera I realised I didn't really understand all the features that my camera had to offer. My daughter suggested picking up the 'Photography for Beginners' course at Hillcroft. With this campus being local to me, I joined the course and learnt so much already! The lessons are always interesting and interactive.
