Stretch and Sketch 

Join us for a yoga and life drawing workshop on Sunday, 17th August from 13:30-16:00

This workshop consists of a 60-minute (beginner-friendly) Yin Yang yoga class run by the brilliant Jasmine Brand-Williamson followed by 75-minutes of life drawing with Hugo from Drawing Life. There will also be breaks and refreshments. 

Stretch and Sketch encourages you to capture the shapes that the body creates after embodying them during your practice. Yoga Asana (postures) consists of shapes that are interesting and enjoyable to draw. Both yoga and life drawing are meditative and help you to relax and notice the present moment. Our event is open to everyone - no yoga or drawing experience is required. 

What to expect? 

13:30 - Yin Yang yoga class

14:40 -  Life drawing (including a short break for tea and snacks)

16:00 - Finish 

About the Yin Yang yoga:

The class will include a slow and energising flow, with standing and balancing postures, and yin, where we’ll hold more restful poses for 3-5 minutes each. 

About the life drawing: 

During the 75-minute life drawing session, students will be able to draw some of the postures they have just experienced. Hugo will offer tutoring for those who wish. 

What to bring? 

A yoga mat if you have one

Refreshments and art materials are provided.

Tickets cost £30 /concessions £25
