CREATIVE CRAFT
PETER WATERCOLOURS & PAINTING
Following retirement and keen to change his lifestyle after an illness diagnosis, Peter enrolled on the Painting & Watercolours course at Preston College. He saw it as the perfect opportunity to develop his artistic skills, meet like-minded people, and establish his own unique painting style. Peter describes the course as well-structured, offering a balanced mix of theory, demonstrations, and personalised tutor support. Throughout the course he has gained focus, patience, and a deeper understanding of technique and process. “I’ve received excellent support from both the tutor and fellow students, and I’ve noticed a real improvement in my confidence and abilities,” he says. Now feeling more ambitious and confident with his projects, Peter plans to continue his creative journey by enrolling on the course again. “It’s a fantastic way to kick- start your journey with watercolours and build on your creativity.”
JOANNE & ISABEL CAKE BAKING
Joanne and Isabel, a mother-daughter duo, joined the cake baking course at Preston College for enjoyment and to expand their baking skills beyond the few cakes they usually make. The 9-week course gave them the chance to try new recipes, learn decorating techniques, and enjoy baking together in a friendly, social setting. They have particularly enjoyed baking alongside others, chatting, laughing, and sharing the experience, making the course both fun and educational. Both praise the tutor’s clear guidance and support, along with the college’s great communication and easy parking. While they don’t plan to pursue baking professionally, they’re keen to continue taking courses for personal enjoyment. Joanne and Isabel comment: “It’s not only a fantastic way to improve baking skills but also a great opportunity to meet new people and boost mental well-being after a busy day at work.”
