The Life Room. An unapologetic celebration of the fierceness of both artist and model and the glory of the body.
Born on the cabaret stage of London’s East End icon The Glory, our beginning was the Starkers Academy, a platform for novice life models to pose for drawing audiences of all levels of ability. Because after all, everybody can draw and every body is beautiful. Many years on, our events continue to inspire new and experienced nudes and drawers into ever brighter spotlights and ever bigger stages. But don't take out word for it. See for yourself!
Now based in the creative oasis of Crystal Palace, SE London, nestled in the picturesque Victoriana that is Cooper’s Yard Studios, the Life Room runs regular, one-off and party life drawing experiences for public and bespoke audiences across London, featuring a stream of fresh, inspired modelling talent.
So, whether the exhuberance of the Starkers Academy is your drawing tipple, the zen of the yoga studio inspires your creations or exploring a one-off life drawing experience is more your bag, grab a board and materials at the door, leave your inhibitions behind and enter The Life Room!
