Life drawing in central Croydon on the 2nd + last Thursday of the month, off Surrey Street market. We are all about new and emerging local artists.

We think it's the unsuspecting nature of what we do - That it can appeal and seduce anyone. But most of all, that you can enjoy some time for yourself to indulge in a hobby. Check out our website for the next life drawing class and subscribe to our events on Facebook. We've also got a great line up of upcoming artists exhibiting in the gallery at Matthews Yard. Art commissions and projects are available from paintings to website design, by Leoni Descartes. [email protected]
