Body Love Sketch Club... LIFE DRAWING! (London) - XMAS SPECIAL!

MERRY FESTIVEMAS, EVERYBODY! It's time for our final Body Love Sketch Clubs of 2024! Join us for a nourishing, heart-warming helping of body positivity, and creative empowerment, as we head into the festive period.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Body Love Sketch Club is a life drawing class with a twist... Since 2016, we have been running workshops in which you can pose as well as draw Body Love Sketch Club is a life drawing class with a twist, in which you can pose as well as draw (fully nude, fully clothed, or anywhere in between!), whilst we explore ways of accepting ourselves more unconditionally, and expressing ourselves more freely.

Our workshops are an artistic adventure in body positivity and creative empowerment, a joyful and tender tonic to feeling disconnected from each other and ourselves, a celebration of bodies in all their (optionally naked) glory, and a place for creative play without shame or judgment.

All bodies, artistic capabilities and confidence levels welcome.

VENUE...

This is an in-person class in London, 1300-1500. Our venue is Music Room London, 116-118 New Cross Rd, London SE14 5BA (8 mins walk from New Cross Gate overground station), a gorgeous recently refurbished arts space, with a bar and garden.

ACCESSIBILITY...

We are on the ground floor, and this venue is accessible to wheelchair users. Please get in touch with us on [email protected] if you'd like to discuss any access requirements.

TICKETS...

£15, including drawing materials (but you're welcome to bring along your favourite things to draw with too).

Whilst we welcome all genders to our events, our priority is holding spaces that feel welcoming and supportive to women and queer folks, who can often experience marginalisation in nude-positive spaces, and we organise our ticket allocations accordingly. If you have any questions on this, please feel free to reach out to us.

One of our principles is inclusivity and we have a NOTAFLOF policy (no one turned away for lack of funds). If our ticket price is prohibitive to you, please get in touch with us prior to the event for a discount code via [email protected].

REFUNDS...

You can apply for a refund through eventbrite up 72 hours ahead of the event. Please apply for refunds through eventbrite (not by emailing or messaging us directly).

Please note, if you apply later than this, we will not be able to refund or exchange your ticket.

THE GOLDEN RULE...

We have one main rule at Body Love Sketch Club, and it's 'be f*cking lovely!' This means that inclusivity, safety, respect, confidentiality, and consent are fundamental principles of Body Love Sketch Club sessions and that all attendees are expected to uphold them. The organisers reserve the right to ask anyone to leave should their behaviour be deemed to be inappropriate.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS ATTENDEES...

'Today I got to experience human connection, compassion, creativity, kindness, vulnerability, and nakedness in an environment free of shame, guilt, judgement and stigma. The incredible Rosy and Ruby are the funniest and friendliest people and their passion for what they do is so tangible.'

'Thank you for this morning's session. It's the first time I'd done anything like this, and I found the whole experience so welcoming and positive and inclusive. What an amazing space you've created - thank you so much - hope to see you again soon.'

'You do so much more than help people with their body image, you help in healing the past and building a wondrously naked and confident future.'

'Beautifully held life drawing where you are invited to sit as well as sketch - revealing no more than you choose - but doing so in celebration of all the glory of bodies. Silly and moving and classy AF.'

'A life drawing class like no other where everybody is truly good enough and the only goal is to love the bodies you see and love the way you draw them, however that may be.'

'A truly welcoming space for creativity and self-expression.'

'Thank you so much for this beautiful space - to the other models, and Rosy and Ruby, and everyone else. It always makes me smile to be here but especially today.'
