Go Figure Life Drawing – Self-led Saturday (July)
Come and join us for a fun and friendly life drawing session.
Go Figure is back but this time we’re going to be drawing for the full day!
There will be no tutor leading this session but it will be hosted by a member of the Swarthmore team. There are a number of easels and drawing boards available to use, but do feel free to bring your own.
We will be working with a female model for the session.
We will begin with some quick poses and then move on to longer ones (up to an hour in duration).
Please note – materials are not included in the ticket price. You’re more than welcome to bring your own or these can be purchased from Swarthmore on the evening.
This session is suitable for beginners and pros alike, but they must be 18+
The art studio (where the sessions will take place) is only accessible via a couple of steps, so if you do have any access needs – please get in touch prior to booking tickets as we will aim to relocate the session to another accessible space in Swarthmore if any are available!
We request reasonable notice of at least 2 working days to be able to action any adjustments.
