Our Students
Sita, Painting & Drawing
“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
