Peckham Life Drawing at Staffordshire Street

Whether it’s for fun or your folio - or maybe it’s both. Explore life drawing as serious fun, sessions where everybody (!) is more than welcome.

Starting with poses so fast you won’t have time to think and ending with longer poses where you can spend more time exploring your own unique creativity.

With a break in between to discuss life drawing as a contemporary creative practice or just enjoy a drink ...

Each session invites fantastic models to share their skills. Drawing boards and paper are provided so just bring your lovely self.

Luce Russell (MA RCA) is a Peckham based artist, since 2017 they have been inviting everybody to draw (everybody) as Peckham Life Drawing. Creating and facilitating diverse range sessions that widen experiences of life drawing beyond (just) observationally drawing a model.

Approaching life drawing(s) as both noun andverb, experiments in queering the notion of traditional life drawing by diversifying both whom and how we approach and disseminate representation as a community. Inviting serious play between paper and skin, and acts of embodiment(s).

is an independent project space in Peckham, South East London. The venue facilitates arts and cultural events and provides affordable studios for artists, makers and designers.

Staffordshire St is not-for-profit and all income is invested into developing our public programme which launched the summer of 2022. The venue was established as an art gallery in 2017, before then it was vacant for many years after a community centre closed. Originally it was built as a Methodist Hall. We intend to support a range of cultural events for the local community.

Staffordshire St will build on the established record of these histories, opening up again to the neighbourhood and developing a welcoming interdisciplinary arts space. More information on upcoming events at : [email protected] or @staffordshirest

Accessibility: There is step-free access to the gallery via the door to the left hand side of the main entrance. There is a wheelchair accessible toilet. The event will be taking place in the exhibition space, which is a large open room with bright lighting and some seating available. View the accessibility rider here.
