Learn look at your poses the way artists will look at you. Learn to lean into your body’s creativity. Learn about the edges of your stamina. We will be posing in real time and drawing each other (no need to be good at drawing). Learning by doing, experiencing, reflecting.

“On Wednesdays we don’t wear pink- we wear nothing”

It will soon be that time! We begin again next week and I have added Thursdays to the agenda. There’s a different model booked each night for those of you who want to come more than once in the week.

Here is your work from last May (I know I know). I love to see you sharing your work. I love to see you being proud of your work enough to share it.

Models: Gabriella , Tiarnan , Mariana, , Greer, and

Cooooeeee!!! Tickets are up for life drawing from September til December! And because you are all such delightfully keen beans, in September and October we are adding Thursday sessions to the usual Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

As well as this I have introduced pay-it-forward passes to our ticket options. If you are in a position to do so, paying £15 for your session funds a free space. I have added 35 free 5-session passes to the ticket pages in the hope that 175 of you will help me fund this 🤞 and if it takes off, I’ll add more free spaces, woo!

Tickets have gone up for the higher price brackets and are now £12/8/7 for salaried/living waged/low income. I trust you will assess your financial ability honestly. As ever, you can also bulk buy a 5-pass for £1 off per session, whichever your price bracket.

I can’t wait to welcome you back into the beautiful anatomy lecture theatre at

With all my alarmingly genuine love
