The Sci-Fi Series

We will be based at Council House at the University of East Anglia. View on Google Maps here.

​There will be an A Board with the workshop details outside the entrance.

We can provide free parking for the day of your workshop at the UEA main carpark. View on Google maps here.

​The carpark uses plate recognition, so you'll just need to drive up to the entrance barrier, a camera will register your car, and you just need to park.

​Please include your car registration number when booking your place.

Anyone aged 18+ who is interested in imagining and drawing fantasy creatures, environments and stories.

​​The workshops will be tailored to beginners and those new to drawing and fantasy worldbuilding, but adventurers with all skill levels and experiences are welcome to join.

​​We especially welcome introverted and neurodivergent explorers, and anyone who is usually unable to afford creative activities.

All materials and resources are included, but you’re welcome to bring your favourite drawing equipment if you’d like to.

​​We’ll also provide teas, coffees, water and some snacks, but you’re more than welcome to bring your own. If you have any allergies or dietary requirements please include them in the sign-up form.

There are gendered toilets and an all-gender accessible toilet closest to where we're based.

There is an accessible lift to the room, and an accessible toilet on the same level as the room.

​Please note, this session includes up to a mile of walking or travelling around the UEA campus. We have camping chairs available on request.

​​If you have any requirements we’ll work hard to meet them. Please add any access requirements when booking your place, or get in touch with us via email: greetings@waywardadventurers.co.uk or phone: 07774080378

​We’ll try our best to put things in place for you to feel safe, supported and comfortable. 

If you’re unable to afford the travel to and from the workshops, we may be able to cover the costs.

​​This can include train and bus tickets, taxi fares, petrol costs or other costs from travelling to and from the workshops.

​​If you’d miss out on this workshop without financial support for travel, please complete the ‘travel bursary’ section of the sign-up form and we’ll be in touch.

​​Please note, if we cover your travel for the workshops, we’ll pay you back for the cost once you’ve sent us a receipt, and we’ll make sure to do this as soon as possible after we receive your receipt. You can email your receipt or give it to us at the workshop. We can pay you back via a bank transfer or PayPal

Jaz (she/her)
I created the Wayward Adventurers Guild back in September 2020 to share the joy and excitement of making new fantasy worlds.

​​I've taught art, design and photography for over ten years in schools, universities, and independently. I've worked with children in care, those with special educational needs and children from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

​​I love worldbuilding, but a lot of the time I find it overwhelming and intimidating. I'm terrible at in-depth Dungeons and Dragons campaigns and shy away from rule-heavy games for fear of getting it wrong, which is very common for me. I wanted to create a space for people to dabble in worldbuilding without rules and to find their way of doing it.

​​These workshops are made possible with generous funding from Arts Council England, in-kind support and partnership with the Forum Trust and Norwich Games Festival, and in-kind support from Norfolk Museum Services, the Bircham Centre and the Shoebox Enterprises.

​I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons and larped for over ten years, and my background is in Gymnastics coaching. I now support workshops, build our event set-ups and support the day-to-day running of a small business.

​​It can be hard to find time to fully commit to big larps or complex tabletop games, and so we’re hoping our workshops will be more manageable and less pressured.
