UK Creative Content Lead Meet Phoebe, the UK’s creative content maven! As the creative content department lead, Phoebe uses her 6 years of content experience to orchestrate a harmonious blend of captivating content and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) strategies while nurturing and empowering the truly talented UK editorial team. Day-to-day, you can find Phoebe planning out engaging content and supporting her team to write wonderful words for all. Outside of work, you might be able to find Phoebe engrossed in deep conversations at a cosy coffee shop with her book club or volunteering as a counsellor at a local charity. As an advocate for wellbeing, she also loves an evening spent at the hot yoga studio or seeking solace in nature. Career Story Phoebe began her journey studying Journalism in Newcastle, at a Russell Group University. During her time there, Phoebe's passion for the arts and entertainment world led her to become an arts and entertainment writer for the esteemed Courier publication. Her articles covered an array of enthralling topics, ranging from art exhibitions to the latest film releases, establishing her as a keen observer and communicator of creative endeavours. Not only did she excel in her writing, winning an award for an investigative piece, but Phoebe also served as the Journalism student representative for her year, showcasing her leadership and team-building skills early on.Phoebe's ascent in the content domain truly began when she secured her first role as a Content Producer in the film industry. In this capacity, she found herself gathering and creating exciting creative content by interviewing actors and filmmakers, including a director of a Star Wars film! Collaborating closely with leading film PR agencies, Phoebe was privy to the glitz and glamour of red carpet events, immersing herself in the world of film press. It was also during this time that she also delved into the intricacies of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), igniting a spark that would guide her career path ever since.Expanding her horizons, Phoebe ventured into the realm of medical writing in the healthcare field. This new role not only allowed her to demonstrate her versatile writing prowess but also fostered a deep-rooted affection for mental health advocacy and wellbeing. A passionate traveller at heart, Phoebe then embarked on a van-life journey through New Zealand, during which she continued to nurture her love for writing by freelancing across diverse industries. During the pandemic, Phoebe also contributed to GRV Media’s The Focus, now HITC, covering news topics and political opinion features. From think-pieces to arts and entertainment blog posts for local brands to voluntary contributions for mental health charity, Mind, Phoebe's writing demonstrated her innate ability to connect with diverse audiences on a range of meaningful subjects.

What Is Neon Life Drawing? I Took the Class to Find Out
By Phoebe Griffiths
I had a rough idea of what to expect from a class called nf!Neon Life Drawing – a life drawing class, with a bold, colourful twist. ButI had a rough idea of what to expect from a class called nf!Neon Life Drawing – a life drawing class, with a bold, colourful twist. But the word “neon” sparked my curiosity. What did I find? A technicolour celebration of creativity, expression, and not taking yourself too seriously. As ClassBento’s Content Manager, I get to peek behind the curtain of all sorts of creative classes – but this one genuinely surprised me. So, I went along to try it for myself and even sat down with its founder (nay–inventor!) Jylle, to find out where this wild idea came from and tell you whether or not you should give it a go. So what actually is neon life drawing? Let’s start with the basics. Neon life drawing is a UV-lit art class where you sketch a nude model who’s been hand-painted head-to-toe in fluorescent body paint. The room glows, the materials glow, the models definitely glow — and even your practise-scribbles somehow end up looking cool under the lights. “It’s about creating a space where people can be expressive and have fun,” Jylle told me. “I’ve always wanted it to be less about ‘drawing well’ and more about experimenting.” and that is definitely what I experienced. Jylle is the founder of Neon Naked, and she’s been running classes for over seven years – painting models, making the props, organising everything herself. Her background is in fashion and knitwear but when she wanted to move towards something more community-based and interactive, Neon Naked was born. Where did it all begin? “I was knitting every day, sending my work off to festivals and photo shoots, and I just thought – I need to go outside,” she laughed. Neon Naked started in her friend’s café in Dalston, with a few painted models, a couple of UV lights, and an idea that felt half brilliant, half bonkers. But it worked. And it grew. Over the years, she’s brought it to galleries, pop-ups, and parties, refining the format and building a following. For Jylle, winning ClassBento’s Trendsetter Award was a bit of a shock. “I’ve never won anything before,” she said. “I think it's because it's such a unique thing, there's no categories for me to win awards with – I just feel very thankful for it and to be noticed, to have that, I don't know how to say it. It's just really good” She didn’t just come up with a new class – she invented a whole new genre. And what’s even more exciting is that the success of Neon Naked Life Drawing is paving the way for others to try their hand at neon art, with different twists and variations on the life drawing format. “It was a way to bring together everything I loved – performance, fashion, art, colour – but in a way that involved people. It wasn’t just about watching. It was about joining in.” What makes it different? (hint: it’s not just the glow) Aside from the UV lights and dazzling paint, what really sets this class apart is its structure. Rather than one long pose, Jylle breaks the class into a series of short, playful drawing rounds — like creative mini-games. Each one lasts around ten minutes or so, just long enough to push you out of your comfort zone without making you panic. “We do exercises where you can’t look at your page, or you can only use dots, or draw with your non-dominant hand,” she explained. “It’s about loosening up. People don’t realise how creative they are until you shake things up.” Every round is guided by a different prompt – sometimes abstract, sometimes emotional. One round we were told to draw “the movement, not the shape”. It was this prompt that helped me really tune into the fact that I was here to have fun, be carefree and create – not perfect my art! By the end, I had created at least six glowing, wild masterpieces – and honestly, I couldn’t have cared less about how "good" they were. It was at that moment I realised I’d truly immersed myself in the experience. From Jylle’s carefully curated playlist setting the perfect neon mood to sipping on a tasty tipple from the bar, everything came together seamlessly, blending the vibrant atmosphere with a sense of carefree creativity that went beyond just the art itself. The science behind the sparkle I was fascinated to learn that underneath all the colour and fun, there’s proper science at work too. Jylle actually studied the effects of light on creativity during her Master’s degree and uses that knowledge to shape how the class feels. “Short wavelength light — like blue and UV — has this weird effect on people,” she explained. “It relaxes them, makes them feel open and calm. There’s even a study where installing blue lights in a Japanese train station reduced suicide rates by 80%.” (Psychology Today, 2025) Everyone in the class did seem noticeably chilled out, chatting freely, laughing at their drawings, and trying things they might normally shy away from. It felt more like a creative playground than an art class. It’s welcoming, wild and kind of wonderful Whether you’re going solo or with a group of mates, this class is made for all kinds of people. “Weeknights are quieter and more chilled,” said Jylle. “Weekends are full of energy– loads of hens, birthdays, people just up for something a bit different.” She’s had everyone from shy first-timers to professional illustrators take part and everyone walks away with a bunch of bright, bizarre sketches and a big smile. Why you really should try it If you’ve ever felt like you “can’t draw” or just want to try something a bit left of centre – this is your sign. Neon Naked isn’t about being good at art. It’s about getting stuck in, making a bit of a mess, and remembering that creativity should be fun. Ready to light up your creativity? With classes across London–Hackney, Peckham, Hampstead Heath, Angel and more–whichever borough you call home, there’s a class near you. Whether you’re a total beginner, a hen party planner, or an artist looking to shake things up, Neon Naked Life Drawing offers a one-of-a-kind way to experience figure drawing. It's bold, it’s inclusive, and it’s downright fun. As Jylle puts it: “Just keep going. Keep showing up. That’s how you build something special.” nf!Click here to book your neon adventure! ...

ClassBento Awards: Meet the Judges
By Phoebe Griffiths
Our ClassBento Awards judges are creative visionaries, blending extensive experience with a sharp eye for innovation and craftsmanship. They’reOur ClassBento Awards judges are creative visionaries, blending extensive experience with a sharp eye for innovation and craftsmanship. They’re here to help us celebrate the very best in creativity. Meet the experts behind the decisions! Tabish Khan – Art Critic, Writer and Speaker Tabish Khan is a passionate and experienced art awards judge dedicated to making the creative world accessible to everyone. With a keen interest in both blockbuster exhibitions and the emerging art scene, he regularly explores and writes about a wide range of shows. As the Visual Arts Editor for Londonist since 2013, Tabish has also contributed to FAD, Culture Whisper, Artsy, Elephant, Stir World, and more. His insightful commentary has made him a familiar face on television, radio, and podcasts. Beyond his writing, Tabish is deeply involved in the art community. He’s a trustee of ArtCan, a non-profit supporting artists, as well as the City & Guilds London Art School and Discerning Eye, which hosts an annual exhibition. He's also a critical friend of UP Projects, bringing contemporary art to public spaces. “I'm looking for creatives and teachers who have inspired others, helped them unlock their creativity and demonstrated to others the power of including art and creativity within their day to day lives.” Patricia van den Akker – Creative Business Expert and Coach Patricia is a seasoned creative business adviser, trainer, and coach with over 25 years of experience helping thousands of creative professionals elevate their business skills, knowledge, and confidence. As the Director of The Design Trust, she has transformed it into a leading online business school for designers, makers, and other creatives. Patricia is also a recognised expert in creative business development, covering areas such as business planning, marketing, online selling, and financial goal setting. She teaches at prestigious institutions like the Royal College of Art, University of the Arts London, and Central St Martins, and collaborates with craft fairs and trade shows to provide exhibitor and marketing training. Her self-published business planners and journals have empowered creatives to set meaningful goals and develop strategic plans for their businesses.

Currently, she is finalising her book, ‘Teach Your Creative Workshops In Person & Online,’ set to be published by Herbert Press/Bloomsbury in February 2024. "I think too many workshops are alike so I'll be looking for something special that makes each entry stand out, ensuring that their format, topic, venue, and target student are well-aligned. I'll focus on how clearly they define their audience and the impact they aim to make, the clarity of their teaching approach, their branding and images, and any positive testimonials or quotes!” Grace Sodzi-Smith – Senior Leader in Arts and Social Innovation Grace is a dynamic leader in creative and social innovation with a passion for supporting impactful projects. With experience as a Senior Officer at Arts Council England and CEO of PAPER Arts CIC, Grace has a knack for developing and nurturing standout programs. Her role as a Non-Executive Director at the Rising Arts Agency and her Master’s in Social Innovation from the University of Cambridge further enrich her perspective. Grace’s deep understanding of creative and community-focused initiatives makes her an excellent judge for the ClassBento Awards, where she’s excited to celebrate and recognise exceptional creative projects and programs. "For the ClassBento Awards, I'll be on the lookout for what I know best – true innovation and social impact." Isabella Strambio – Artist, Educator and Author Isabella is a renowned artist, educator, and author with a unique journey from being an International Interior Designer to becoming one of the UK's leading macramé artists. Since making the switch to macramé in 2016, Isabella has become a pioneering educator in the craft, with three published books and a new one on the way. Her work has been celebrated across various platforms, including being a finalist for Best Creative Workshop in the Mollie Makes Awards 2017 and appearing on Channel 4’s Kirsty Handmade Christmas in 2018. Isabella's passion for macramé extends beyond creating; she has been at the forefront of teaching this art form, both in-person and online, reaching a global audience – if there's one thing Isabella can do, it's creative workshops! She has also co-founded The Creative Winchester Meet-up in 2018, a supportive space for creative women in Hampshire, and has collaborated with Hobby Craft to design numerous macramé tutorials. Her impact on the craft community can also be seen by her role as a finalist in the Etsy Design Award in 2019 and the Modern Maker Award in 2024. As an author, Isabella has contributed significantly to the modern macramé movement with her books Macramé for the Modern Home (2020), Macramé Weekend Makes (2021), Macramé Jewellery, and Macramé Christmas (2024). She also hosts annual macramé retreats, bringing together enthusiasts for an immersive creative experience. Isabella’s work has been featured in prestigious publications such as The Sunday Telegraph, Psychology Magazine, Mollie Makes, GoodHomes Magazine, AD, and international outlets like Women Create, Origin, and Koel.
