What we’re about
This group is open to all artists, illustrators, animators, cartoonists and Graphic artists, professional or amateur, who would like to share the experience of drawing and painting from life.
Any member can make suggestions or host an event, so that we have a range of activities to suit everyone.
When we are working indoors - please bring along 'clean materials' that won't leave a mess behind!
Useful to have a pub or cafe nearby, so that we can have a sociable time too and get inspired by exchanging sketchbooks (not compulsory for the very shy!)

Please note the date of this event has changed to Saturday 6th September 10 - 12pm
This meet-up enrollment event is most likely to be for your children — or your friends’ children — who are aged 16 and over and thinking about their next steps after school. If they have a passion for art, design, illustration, gaming or animation, this session is the perfect chance to explore how RuTC’s A-Level in Graphics & Illustration can help turn creativity into a career. Basically, I have some spaces left on this amazing course, so I am reaching out for the final ten students to fill the course!
RuTC’s A-Level Graphics & Illustration gives you the chance to develop your potential as a graphic designer, animator, concept artist or illustrator. From children’s books, fashion magazines, branding, gaming, animation, film and more — every year, students bring their own interests into their projects.
This is a hands-on studio experience where you’ll learn the full design process through tutorials, workshops, and lectures in design, drawing, illustration, typography, and industry-standard software like Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. You’ll also explore illustration, letterforms, packaging design, and more — all while discovering your own creative voice.
Entry requirements: average point score of 5, including GCSE English and Maths, plus a passion for drawing.
Career pathways: Graphic & Multimedia Designer, Animator, Illustrator, Game Designer, Art Director — basically, any creative studio-based profession.
Meet us this Saturday before 12 pm to enrol! Don’t miss your chance to start your creative journey.
