Enjoy a free drawing session with Nottingham-based illustrator Hannah Sawtell, inspired by the work of Dame Laura Knight—one of NTU’s most renowned alumna. 

Known for her vivid depictions of theatre, circus performers and everyday life, Knight’s work encourages close observation and expressive mark-making. Whether familiar with or new to drawing, in this session, Hannah will guide you through different approaches to this style of drawing, incorporating a range of mixed media.

No previous experience is required and all materials are provided.

This event is organised by NTU Arts – the University’s extra-curricular arts programme.

Student tips

Thoughts and advice from current students on your first few days with us.

My top tip for you is to talk to anyone and everyone. It doesn't matter who you talk to, just talk, get yourself out there. There's a chance that you'll make a friend for life, someone who you'll go on adventures with or someone you may not see again after Welcome, but you won't regret speaking to them.

My favourite place has to be the Arboretum in Nottingham – I normally go with my friends and play sports, read, have picnics, play some music and just chill. It’s beautiful.
