In partnership with Cardiff University’s MA in Creative Writing

AMDANI is Creative Cardiff’s monthly writing group, created in partnership with Cardiff University’s MA in Creative Writing.

Each session offers a chance to write, experiment and connect with other writers in a relaxed and welcoming environment. Sessions explore different themes, genres and approaches to writing, with activities designed to get ideas flowing and encourage conversation and creativity.

AMDANI is open to writers at all levels and across different forms, whether you’re already writing regularly or simply want to give creative writing a try.

Sessions are free to attend and take place at Tramshed Tech in Cardiff. The programme features a mix of sessions led by Cardiff University MA Creative Writing students and occasional special sessions with established writers and creatives.

Mae AMDANI yn grŵp ysgrifennu misol gan Caerdydd Creadigol, a sefydlwyd mewn partneriaeth â chwrs MA Ysgrifennu Creadigol Prifysgol Caerdydd.

Mae pob sesiwn yn cynnig cyfle i ysgrifennu, arbrofi a chysylltu ag awduron eraill mewn awyrgylch hamddenol a chroesawgar. Mae'r sesiynau'n archwilio themâu, genres a dulliau ysgrifennu gwahanol, gyda gweithgareddau wedi'u cynllunio i sbarduno syniadau ac annog sgwrs a chreadigrwydd.

Mae AMDANI yn agored i awduron ar bob lefel ac ar draws gwahanol ffurfiau, p'un a ydych chi eisoes yn ysgrifennu'n rheolaidd neu'n syml eisiau rhoi cynnig ar ysgrifennu creadigol.

Mae'r sesiynau'n rhad ac am ddim ac yn cael eu cynnal yn Tramshed Tech yng Nghaerdydd. Mae'r rhaglen yn cynnwys cymysgedd o sesiynau dan arweiniad myfyrwyr MA Ysgrifennu Creadigol Prifysgol Caerdydd a sesiynau arbennig achlysurol gydag awduron a chrewyr sefydledig.
