Focus on WadhurstACRES are trying to improve the number and range of courses on offer in Wadhurst so you’ll
notice some different subjects in this brochure. There are courses in art, ceramics, digital
photography, English and maths skills, French, Spanish and Italian, soft furnishings, using your
i-Pad, wine tasting and yoga, including the expansion of our popular course ‘Yoga for Men’.
In addition to our courses, we also offer a range of Saturday Workshops which include the
theory of Beekeeping on ‘Beginners Beekeeping Workshop’ and applying the principles of
Mindfulness to everyday life situations in ‘Brain-Training: Enjoy More, Stress Less’. There are
also workshops in aspects of Photoshop Elements, and some exciting new opportunities to
sample silver clay jewellery making, singing and harp playing. If you want to gain confidence in
public speaking, whether for professional or personal reasons, we’ve got a workshop for that
too. Make sculptures for the garden and seasonal flower arrangements for your home. Enjoy a
day off from your usual weekend chores and learn something new.
If we’re not offering a subject you want, or you think you’d be able to teach for ACRES, then
please get in touch. We’re your local adult learning college and we aim to run the course that
you want.
