Come along to Drawing Club – a fun, approachable opportunity to liberate your creativity through mark-making! Open to everyone; beginners, enthusiasts and artists alike! Each session will have a focus, but by no means is this a class! We encourage getting distracted, making mistakes, collaborating and starting again.
A great film poster can tell you everything and nothing at once. It's an invitation into another world, a glimpse of a story and sometimes a work of art in its own right.
Inspired by some of the most creative, iconic and imaginative movie poster designs, we'll explore how imagery, composition, colour and typography can capture the spirit of a film. Taking inspiration from a favourite film, you'll create your own alternative movie poster, reimagining its story, characters or atmosphere through image-making.
With collage materials, playful drawing exercises and a few experimental prompts up our sleeves, there's plenty of room to explore different approaches and find your own way in. Whether you're a film fanatic, a budding designer or simply enjoy getting creative, come along and give your favourite film a whole new look!

Bethan, your host, is warm, light-hearted, and fully in your corner. She’s the kind of facilitator who’ll cheer your wobbliest line like it belongs in a gallery. You’ll be guided, encouraged, and gently nudged outside your comfort zone — all in a way that feels joyful and safe.
