Weekly life drawing sessions at which beginners and more seasoned artists can draw the human figure from life.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- it’s a great way of releasing stress;
- drawing is an absorbing and mindful activity – you get lost in the present moment;
- learning a new skill or improving an existing skill is very rewarding.
“A relaxing evening in a warm, creative & friendly environment. It was completely absorbing and a lovely way to unwind.”

What to expect
Starting at 7.30pm every Thursday for two hours, artists of all abilities sketch an unclothed model at timed intervals guided by Peter Sutton – a professional artist who founded the group. There’s no tuition and no pressure to share/discuss your work, just time to explore your creativity and observational skills.
Halfway through the session is a break for refreshments and you can help yourself to a hot drink and a biscuit. This is when you can chat with other members of this small and friendly group.
