About this Event
We will be drawing from an unclothed model holding a range of poses from 2 - 45 mins long, with live music from invited musicians during the session and a short, chatty tea break halfway through for hot drinks and biscuits. This session is suitable for all levels of ability with beginners welcome and a session leader will be on hand to give you an extra support you might need. As this is a drop-in session, you can book ahead or arrive on the day and pay by card. If you have any questions just email Bella on [email protected].
What you need to bring
You can turn up empty-handed, but we encourage you to bring your own materials – some basic drawing materials will be available for free and paper can be purchased in the studio. Easels, padded & backed chairs, drawing boards and small tables are all provided on a first come-first served basis.
