Rutland County Museum holds new art and ceramics exhibition

A new exhibition celebrating students and staff from the Rutland Adult Learning and Skills Service (RALSS) opened at Rutland County Museum on Saturday 12 October.

Students taking art classes at the RALSS adult learning centre at Oakham Enterprise Park, along with staff, have created a range of pieces that will be on show to members of the public until Saturday 9 November.

Visitors will be able to enjoy a display of ceramics, sculptures, watercolour paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces artwork.

The classes aim to inspire students to explore their creativity and expand their horizons. Students are taught techniques and styles used by other artists to help them create their art.

"We would really encourage members of the public to take the opportunity to come and view this new exhibition. It is clear that a great deal of time and effort has gone in to creating these impressive pieces of art and we are pleased to be able to showcase their talent.

"RALSS offers a wide range of classes in art and crafts and languages, as well as more formal qualifications in subjects like English, maths, counselling skills and ICT."
