Sketch Factory promotes sketching, drawing and creative activities that boost your inspiration skills and wellbeing, from unique life drawing sessions with different themes each and every time, to creative socials and sketching meet ups.
Our LIFE DRAWING extravaganza is perfect whether you’re looking for inspiration, just want to fill your black-books with interesting themes, or see how fabric behaves on skin – you are in for a treat. All tools provided, but feel free to bring your own!
Each event is unique and tells a different story. One of a kind poses, creative outfits, accessories in fun atmosphere with a drink and company of relevant music. No nudity – pure life sketching. As ever, all outfits are created by the models themselves, using recycled/reused materials.
Everyone is welcome, entry is pay-what-you-can – donations appreciated, but no-one will be turned away through lack of funds. Register in advance for your ticket, or just show up on the night!
