Life Drawing in Sydney
Life drawing, but make it fun. Our hosted life drawing pairs a charismatic drag or burlesque model with a room full of pencils and laughter. No artistic talent required, just a willingness to giggle at your own stick figures.
It is the hens party and bridal shower activity everyone secretly loves, because it breaks the ice in minutes and gives every guest a keepsake to laugh about later.

A professional life model poses while a drag or burlesque host guides the room through fun, cheeky sketching. No experience needed. It is more comedy and connection than art class.

Do you provide paper and pencils?
We can advise on what to grab, or supply materials on request. Just ask when you enquire.
Is it appropriate and tasteful?
