Wedi’i ysbrydoli gan arddangosfa Murmurs Anthony Shapland yn Tŷ Pawb, mae’r sesiwn ysgrifennu creadigol a gwneud ffilmiau hon yn gwahodd pobl ifanc ac oedolion ifanc i archwilio barddoniaeth trwy ddelwedd, sain a symudiad, gan gyfuno geiriau, delweddau a pherfformiad. Gan gael ein cerddi oddi ar y dudalen ac i’n llais, byddwn yn creu barddoniaeth fer neu ryddiaith wedi’i hysbrydoli gan yr arddangosfa ac yn adrodd straeon mewn ffyrdd newydd a chyffrous. Gan gydweithio i greu Ffilmiau Barddoniaeth byr sy’n dod â’n geiriau’n fyw.

Bydd egwyl fer yng nghanol y sesiwn, ac mae croeso i chi gymryd egwyl unrhyw bryd y mae ei angen arnoch yn ystod y sesiwn.
Iaith:
Cynhelir y sesiynau yn bennaf yn Saesneg, gan ddefnyddio Cymraeg bob dydd, ond mae croeso i gyfranogwyr ysgrifennu a chymryd rhan yn yr iaith y maent yn gyfforddus yn ei defnyddio.
