Kings for Life (Drawing) Class

A Drag King/Thing Life Drawing Workshop for artists to experience drag in a new way and drag artists to gain a new skill in life modelling. ****Join us for an exciting life drawing workshop dedicated to providing
a platform for Drag Kings/Things to model and offering artists a unique
experience in capturing the essence of drag through art.****

Our inclusive sessions cater to all skill levels, whether you're a
novice or a seasoned artist like the next David Hockney! Each pose is
timed, and we may suggest different drawing techniques to inspire and
warm up your artistic flow.

**What You'll Need:**

* Drawing Surface: Get creative—paper, an iPad, or cardboard boxes!
* Drawing Materials: Anything goes—pencils, charcoal, pastels, or
paints. It's a perfect opportunity to experiment and try something
new!

Pose breakdown will be 4 x 5 minutes, 2 x 10 minutes, 3 x 15 minutes,
and 1 x 20 minutes (as time allows).

Come along, settle in and drawing starts just after 3.30pm.

****Please bring your own materials (Although we generally have a few
pads and pencils on hand in case!). All skill levels, genders and
orientations are welcome.****

<strong><strong>Important: </strong></strong>****Recording of the
session is not permitted.****

As with all our sessions, Nudity is not part of this workshop. It is up
to the model's comfort level when posing how much or little clothing
they will wear and being mindful of other patrons in the space, as it
will not be private.

Our main priority is to create a safe environment for the talent.

That said, sometimes sessions do veer towards the erotic/kink based on
the model. We ask that you respect the model's privacy by NOT taking
any photos or recordings during the session.

****Ticket sales contribute to paying our models, covering hire fees,
and ensuring we can continue providing these fantastic sessions.****

creative community together!
