Letgo Drawing originated at the Black Dove and has been running every Wednesday since February 2014. The only time it won't be running is a public holiday - a message will be here with Timetable and the page/instagram

Develop new techniques or relax in the moment and the mark making. Forget about everything else for a couple of hours because you deserve it. A typical evening will start with 3 x 5 min poses, followed by 2 x 20 min poses - a break - then 30 min or 2 x 15 and some short 1-5 min poses! Have your own life drawing party at your home, or private and personalised Life Drawing Class for your Birthday/surprise event or an anniversary in the quirky basement of the Black Dove/Twin Pines contact Emily 07905113378

or ONLINE! Please feel free to contact if you have any questions! Happy Drawing :)

My Name is Sheena….

It was a Monday morning when Sheena first recoiled in shock at the sight of hair growing on her face. It wasn’t in the usual place that women of a certain age expect to get it. Things started unravelling quickly after that, by the weekend, her voice had changed, and on the following Monday, she was convinced that her canines were becoming more pronounced. She’d gone from vegan to carnivore and…and worst of all, the cat had disappeared….
