A calm, focused two-hour life drawing session for all levels of experience. Tips, encouragement, and feedback offered throughout.

Ever wanted to try Life Drawing, but not sure where to start?

Life drawing is the practice of drawing the human figure from a live model. Artists have been doing it for thousands of years - and you can try it too.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a little rusty, or more experienced, you'll be supported to start exactly where you are.

This relaxed, supportive class will be led by professional teacher and artist Susannah Pal.

Venue is three minutes walk from Macclesfield station
