✂️ ready to cut loose and get creative?

On 'Creative Collage', you’ll explore what happens when you mix painting, printing, drawing… and a little bit of chaos (the good kind). 🎨

This 5-week course is all about experimenting – layering textures, playing with colour, and turning everyday materials into something completely unexpected.

You’ll even take your work digital using an iPad, learn from other artists, and build confidence in your own creative voice 💡

No experience? No problem. Just bring your curiosity (and maybe a love of scissors). 👀

Meet Bernie – a learner who came to RHACC after retiring and found learning, creativity and community in equal measure. From music, guitar, singing and drama, to humanities and an Access course that led to a degree, Bernie’s journey is all about curiosity and connection.

“For older people especially, that continuing companionship and friendship really matters. This institution is hugely important.”

Learning doesn’t stop at retirement – sometimes it’s where everything opens up ✨
