Creative Studio: No. 8: Bare minimum life drawing

Life Drawing: Presence & Play

This women-only workshop* is a celebratory, low-pressure life drawing session led by Amiria Lise Swanson and modelled by Polly George. We focus on creativity, community, and the appreciation of human bodies in a respectful, body-positive environment.

*Explicitly trans-inclusive and welcoming to non-binary people.

What You’ll Do

Creative Life drawing: A session dedicated to drawing for joy, play, and presence rather than a "masterpiece."
