Life Drawing is a powerful mindfulness practice that roots us in the moment. It helps develop a deeper sense of empathy for each other by closely studying the human form.

Here at the Dory Gallery, we welcome you to a relaxed environment where you can look, draw and mingle with fellow creatives. Our upcoming series of self-led life drawing classes offers a space to practice at your own pace.

Whether you are a seasoned artist or picking up a charcoal stick for the first time, you will find a supportive, encouraging group of peers. All ages and abilities are very welcome.

Class Details
Time: Mondays, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm

Dates:
June: 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 24th
July: 6th, 13th

Looking Ahead
If you want to explore a different style, we are also launching still-life sessions this August and September.

Thanks for the compliments Matt, love the drawing, and such a lovely group to model for

As a life drawing facilitator I think it’s important to have a regular practice of ones own & mine is with the lovely coop group that met Thursday mornings at - does a wonderful job booking the models (no easy task) & takes care of money & we all pitch in working with the models. This week we had the brilliant as our superb sitter & although my likeness is ropey I got features & one huge hand (which i love) all with a humble 4B
