“Variety of models, tasks, materials and interaction made this class one of the best I have ever attended
anywhere. Held in a warm, beautiful and well setup environment, the sessions contributed a great deal to my ongoing art practice. ”
“a fantastic way to get back into drawing after a long time
away from my arts practice. The welcoming environment made it easy to experiment and gain confidence.
Having challenges to work with each week gave focus, and the relaxed atmosphere made the evenings a
perfect way to wind down and socialise while engaged in creative activity, all of which I found boosted my
sense of wellbeing.”
“I loved the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of this drawing class - the ambiance of both the hall and background music really contributed to my focus on creating by drawing.”
“Drink and Draw provided a warm, nurturing, fun and energetic environment to explore ones creativity. One of the best life drawing classes I have attended.”

"To draw a tree, to pay such close attention to every aspect of a tree, is an act of reverence not only toward the tree but also to our human connection to it. It gives us almost visionary moments of connectedness." Alan Lee
Life drawing for wildlife rescue
A fundraiser has been organised for the Wildlife Victoria Bushfire Appeal . All funds raised on the night will be donated to Wildlife Victoria. Drawing can be a time for quiet reflection and a great way to ground oneself - something we all need at this time as we come to terms with this new reality. Talking and being with others also helps us process.
The Old Freemasons Hall
Renovations at the Old Freemasons Hall have been completed and the venue is once again fit for use. This means that life drawing sessions can commence again in 2020.
