Member Spotlight: BRICKS HQ Open Days!

Welcome to our latest spotlight newsletter! We have such a talented community of creatives on our Learner Platform, and have been lucky enough to meet some of you during our BRICKS HQ Open Days. On that, we’re proud to introduce some of our members in hope you can collaborate, connect and of course, follow their journey.

Bethan Elford (she/her)

Connect via Instagram @bethanelford (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre) @dr4wing_club (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)

Bethan is an image-maker and the force behind Drawing Club, a creative initiative based in Oxfordshire. Her work is driven by a commitment to nurturing creativity and fostering inclusive, welcoming spaces where people can connect and experiment freely. Drawing Club reflects this ethos – offering playful, low-pressure workshops that invite joy and spontaneity. Bethan is currently looking to connect with like-minded creatives to build a peer network – a space for honest conversations, shared learnings (particularly around the often-daunting world of freelance finances), mutual support, and accountability.

The Drawing Club is hosting their next event on 03/05 – it's a great opportunity to connect with your creative community. Find tickets here (S'ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre).
