After Life Drawing
Featured After Life DrawingChats Palace Arts Centre 42-44 Brooksby's Walk, London, United KingdomEast London queer life drawing hosted by Spencer Grimshaw (slpgtattoo), artist and tattoo artist. After moving to London a year ago Spencer found that the life drawing sessions available either didn't feature a diverse range of models, didn't feel like a safe space for queer people or weren't regular enough to create a community so decided to create that space and community of like minded people!
All abilities are welcome from beginner to experienced! As I will be offering options to be tutored or non-tutored. This is the last session of the year! Materials will be provided however, if there is anything specific that you require please provide this yourself. Every week we will be hosting a diverse range of queer models. -
