Join Ivy and Venn for a friendly and fun life drawing session at the new artist residence loft space on the 5th floor of Islington Mill in Salford. They will soundtrack the poses, adding an element of joy and performance to proceedings! A selection of short and long poses will be presented to the group, both solo and duo. There will also be time to reflect, share work and socialise.
Tea & coffee will be available, and you can also bring your own drinks (alcohol is permitted). Please bring your own art materials, or let us know if you need any help with this.
This is a safe space that promotes body positivity and celebrates all creative abilities. Absolute beginners and more advanced people welcome. This is a great place to meet new people… come alone or brings your friends! Discrimination in any form will not be tolerated at our event. Access to the 5th Floor is by lift and accessible and non-gendered toilets are available.
You will be met on the ground floor of Islington Mill to be taken up to the 5th floor. You are welcome to arrive from 6.30pm to gather and socialise, with poses beginning from 7pm. There will be a break in the middle.
