+ Do I need to be experienced in drawing to attend?

Not at all! You do not need to have any experience in drawing before coming to a life drawing class. Drawing is not an innate ability: like all skills it is developed through practice. Anybody with a will to draw can come to the life drawing class and can learn to draw better over time. Practice will always take you further than natural talent alone.

+ Can I attend on my own?

Yes of course, we have plenty of artists who attend on their own. The joy of life drawing is its directness: just you and the model. Contained in the dynamic of life drawing is visual understanding and meditative practices. You will find when drawing from the nude figure at one of our life drawing events, life drawing asks everything of anyone who has ever stood on front of another human being and attempted to find an equivalent to that experience through sensation, perception and imagination.

+ What to expect when the life drawing sessions starts? Are they tutored?

We start the session by highlighting the format of the evening, which is a selection of short poses and progressively getting longer and longer, before taking a break after the first hour. These sessions are not tutored.

+ How much are the tickets? How can I attend?

£14.99 for Paper & Board Ticket, £19.99 for All Material Ticket Tickets can be purchased from here

+ What is included with each ticket type?

We only provide paper and board (and a clip) in our Paper & Board ticket. With an All-Material ticket, as well as paper and board, we provide a selection of drawing pencils, charcoal, pens, pastels as well as a rubber and sharpener. This is a great ticket for first timers or someone who is looking to try out life drawing, without wanting to invest and buy all the materials.

We hold our sessions in Manchester and throughout the North-West.

+ Can I drop in without buying a ticket?
