Join us for an evening of life drawing in the heart of Easton, hosted at the welcoming Pickle Factory. Every session is guided by a professional local artist, offering tips, techniques, and inspiration to help you get the most out of your drawing – whether you’re just starting out or have years of practice behind you.
We celebrate creativity and diversity with a rotation of models of all body types, bringing you a variety of poses to work from. Expect everything from quick gestures to longer sittings, giving you the chance to experiment with style and approach.
What’s included:
We provide a full range of materials – pencils, charcoal, paper, drawing boards, pastels, and rubbers – so you can get started straight away. Feel free to bring along any of your own favourite tools or sketchbooks too.
The vibe:
Relaxed, cosy, and welcoming. This is a space for everyone: curious beginners, seasoned sketchers, and anyone who simply wants to spend time drawing in good company.
Practical details:
Doors open at 6:15pm for a prompt 6:30pm start.
Please book in advance – tickets are required.
Tickets are reasonably priced, and we offer discounts for anyone who may struggle to afford the full price.
Come along, draw, unwind, and enjoy an evening of creativity in a supportive setting.
