At Creative Cardiff, we host regular opportunities for creatives to come together for connection and collaboration through networking events, panels and socials. Since 2022, we’ve also hosted a range of ‘Creative Cardiff Classroom’ workshops, from pitching to public speaking to wreath-making to writing.

These workshops provide an opportunity for creatives to deep dive into specific topics with a group of like-minded individuals.Running alongside our Creative Cardiff Classroom events, we’re delighted to launch a new AMDANI pilot initiative (roughly translated from Cymraeg as ‘GO FOR IT’), bringing artists, freelancers and businesses together to get creative and network in an informal environment, facilitated by an emerging creative.

We’re delighted to be hosting a special Cymraeg AMDANI session in partnership with Tafwyl festival. Born in Dolgellau, Rolant Tomos now lives in the Vale of Glamorgan. He has directed television drama and run a microbrewery, with lots of other jobs in between. His first novel, a YA fantasy – Meirw Byw (Living Dead) was published in 2025, followed by Raaarrr in 2026. Meirw Byw 2: Didudydd will be published later this year, followed by a Western – Brithdir, his first novel for adults in 2027.

This session is aimed at those who are starting to write or want to structure their first story.
