Ty Cerdd, the body that helps promote Welsh music and artists is holding a special on-line workshop session to highlight the importance of individuals and organisations retaining artistic identity in an increasingly commercial world.

These include the film 'Gold' starring Zac Efron, 'Raya and the Last Dragon', the Kia 'Creed' car commercial and 'Mars inside SpaceX' feature on National Geographic.

He will take the opportunity to explain how individual creativity can be harnessed and brought into commercial work.

The session will also be packed with practical advice and will cover areas including identifying your own voice; pushing artistic boundaries while fulfilling client briefs and building self-discipline.

The free session will conclude with Q&As.
