Life Drawing in Bollington

Phew - I think our life model was the only person in the room at the right temperature tonight!  Not complaining, though - we don't get enough of the sun.

Thank goodness I got a fresh bottle of water in for the cooler - we ran out half way through the class (as I thought we might!) and our model very kindly lifted it on as it was very heavy!

A nice easy, relaxed session, we started with four 'north, south, west, east' poses and then we decided on which medium to use before a 15 minute then a 40 minute pose.

It is great to see beginners get to grips with different materials, experimenting to find which suits them best.

As I always say - there are only two rules in art to consider and that is 'is it safe?' and 'is it legal?' apart from that, try anything new.

We do have places left on our course but only one or two.  
I run small groups for beginners only and we have some sessions with a model (alternating between male and female) and then without so we can look more in depth at what you want to learn.

Just £15 a session plus £5 to the model when we have one.

I run relaxed, friendly yet informative classes where you go at your speed without having to do an exam.  

There are progression routes to move onto.

Life Drawing at Adelphi Mill


Phew - you wouldn't believe how full this room was of tables and broken glass between the recycled bunting making at The Bridgend Centre this afternoon then my life drawing class!

Thank Goodness for hoovers!




Hannah is a fabulous model - she produces some lovely poses.


A VERY challenging pose but this beginner's group did very well. Our new student was really thrown in at the deep end but I was very impressed with the confident marks he made.



Our informal life studies class will continue throughout the year.  £45 for three weeks with £5 payable to the model when we have one (1 or 2 times per three weeks, negotiable with the group).
Tuesdays 7pm - 9pm. 

Booking essential.

Next session there will be no model but I have booked a male model for 15th and 22nd May.
