Over 60's Courses





The over 60's courses are aimed at you if you are 60+ and do not want a qualification but do want to learn new skills and explore a new hobby in the company of others who share that interest. Accommodating all levels of experience, ability and area of individual interest, the main focus of these courses is on enjoyment. The environment is relaxed and friendly, and everyone is encouraged to work and learn at their own pace.

Some of the courses we offer are:

  • Silversmithing
  • Stained glass
  • Green woodwork
  • Drawing and painting

These are some of the comments made by our students:

"I found it really nice to get out and meet such lovely people and I never would have thought I would be able to make such beautiful jewellery - I haven't taken any of it off since I made it." - Angie

"An excellent opportunity to learn a new craft in relaxed surroundings at a reasonable cost. No pressure; and no exams!" - Hugh

"It's nice to get out and meet people, and to do something artistic at the same time. It's also good to know you're not too old to learn." - Paula
