Go Figure – Monthly Self-Led Life Drawing (June)
Come and join us for a fun and friendly life drawing session. Go Figure is a regular event held here at Swarthmore, look out for it every first Thursday of the month!
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.
There will be a rotation of both male and female life models and on occasion we will have multiple models in the same session.
We recommend booking your ticket via Eventbrite to ensure your place but you can drop-in and pay on the day (drop-in spaces are limited).
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+
