Club Bananas returns to SET Social this May, expanding its residency with a new focus: Experimental Drawing.

Following the success of our collage and craft workshops, Club Bananas moves into the medium of drawing. Led by local artist Banana Holdwin, this session investigates surrealist and abstract techniques, continuing the club’s mission to explore creativity without the pressure of perfection.

The session encourages participants to investigate drawing through playfulness and movement, rather than focusing on exact replication or realism. It is a space to embrace looseness, texture, and the contemporary style adopted by the artist—a perfect environment to let your inner child play and experiment freely.

Participants are encouraged to embrace messiness and enjoy the process. Whether you are a regular at Club Bananas or joining us for the first time, this is an inclusive space to connect with others and explore your creative voice.

All materials are provided, including pencils, pens, coloured pencils, crayons, and card. You are always welcome to bring your own favourite sketchbook or specific drawing tools if you prefer.
