If you enjoy doodling and sketching and want the chance to do some life drawing in a friendly relaxed atmosphere, then come and check out our monthly class!

The sessions take place in our beautiful, cosy bar and include a cheese board and glass of wine. For those of you who are new to life drawing and maybe feeling a tad awkward or nervous, having a complimentary glass of wine will help you get into your creative flow!

The cheeseboard will be served during the break so please let us know if you have any dietary requirements and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

This class is for anyone aged 16 or over, whether you’re a regular at life drawing classes or you can barely hold a pencil, everyone is welcome. This is an untaught session to come and practise.

Please bring whichever materials you feel comfortable working with, from some charcoal to a biro, a small sketch pad to A3 sheets of paper. There will be a limited amount of drawing boards and materials, available on a first come first serve basis.

This session is a chilled out place to have a go if you haven’t drawn before and also a perfect opportunity for the more experienced artists to practise.

You are encouraged to come from 6:15pm to chat and find a place. There will be a 20 minute break in the middle to finish off the fromage and get your complimentary glass of wine.

To make our model feel as comfortable as possible we would ask you to follow standard life drawing etiquette and talk quietly.
