After School Club is a night of talks by young illustrators and designers organised by Lizzy Stewart. Artists will talk about their work, methods and experiences following graduation and there will be the chance for discussion afterwards. After School Club is open to anyone. Hurrah.

Thanks to the many people who came along and also to the speakers, all of whom did an incredible job! Keep your eyes peeled for any future events but in the meantime you can check out the photos on Flickr.
