IRONCLAD CREATIVE CIC

HELPING WRITERS, ARTISTS & THEATRE-MAKERS

NETWORK, LEARN & THRIVE

Ironclad Creative CIC

Ironclad was created in 2020 as a place for writers, artists and theatre-makers to find each other, learn about the business of making art, and develop their skills.

Founded by producer and writer couple Michelle Allen and Andrew Allen, after running the Cast Iron Theatre company for over seven years, Ironclad’s mission is to support, signpost and provide spaces where people can build community, write, make, discuss and learn. 

We know how hard it is to make connections, network and learn about how to get paid for what you do.

We want to support all people and are especially interested in making sure that our work reaches people who currently have low incomes, or come from low income backgrounds. 

We’re also neurodivergent and know that being creative and neurodivergent adds additional complexities and barriers to networking, making and putting your work into the world. 

Ironclad Creative Cauldron - Membership

Community is at the heart of our mission.

By joining the The Ironclad Creative Cauldron Membership you’ll be part of a bubbling and inspiring mix of artists, makers and doers.

As part of the membership we offer events online and in-person, including writing sprints, AMAs, expert masterclasses with authors, theatre-makers and creative industry professionals, and mentoring sessions.

What’s more, as a member of the Ironclad Creative Cauldron, you’ll get discounts to our paid retreats and events, be the first to hear about our offers with your own membership newsletter, and you’ll also be able to make friends and connect with other writers, artists and theatre-makers from around the world on our very own Discord channel.

Events For All!

You don’t have to be a member of the Ironclad Creative Cauldron to be part of what we do.

Maybe you like an early morning online writing session, or prefer to write for a few hours at one of our Writers’ Spaces, or you’d like to spend a day with us writing, acting or making work.

We have loads of events each month - on line or in person - with many more masterclasses, retreats, and courses on the way!

Make sure you sign up for one today!
