Featuring a live model as well as a different theme each month, these sessions are a great way to unwind after a busy day. Everyone is welcome to attend, from those starting to develop their drawing skills to experienced artists seeking regular practice. Guidance will be provided by local illustrator and artist Paul Pickford.
All materials are included in the ticket price, with a variety of pencils, paper and boards available for use. We also encourage those who wish to bring their own materials to do so – provided these are ‘dry’ so no inks or paints to help protect our collections.
We are also now welcoming the use of electronic devices if you wish, but please note we do not allow the charging of these items in our gallery spaces.
Sessions are pre-bookable, run on Wednesdays from 6-8pm and suitable for ages 16 years and over.
£10 adult | £7 student, all materials included.

As this is a great time of year to try new things, our first class of 2026 will be aimed at beginners. This includes anyone new to life drawing or just wanting to refresh their skills – all are welcome! We’ll be looking at the use of line, shape and shading together with how to measure the figure and getting proportions right.
