A former school master has returned to learning by taking an Arts course at North Warwickshire & Hinckley College.

The HNC in 3D Design allows students to learn about 3D design practices including ceramics, glass, light metals and wood. Bob displayed her work in the College's Summer Festival which celebrates students' hard work and achievements from over the academic year.
