Society
We respect Gauguin and Bauhaus, but we admire Apple and Braun. Our society is all about hands-on life drawing sessions, student-led workshops, and creative collabs. With both undergrad and postgrad students sharing their skills in illustration, product design, graphic and web design, there's something for everyone. Our workshops are run by students with real industry experience, so you’ll pick up practical skills while having fun. Come hang out, level up your portfolio, and meet some cool, like-minded creatives along the way!
Discord is our main communication channel, so join us there and stay in the loop!
