For us antipodeans; December is a month held dear for reasons far beyond gift exchanging, tinsel and Christmas trees. It heralds our long awaited summer! Hemlines rise, flesh is bared (sans-goosebumps) and beer becomes even MORE palatable.
To usher in the new season (and lead by example) Honey Van Hooch shon on our stage. She was a luscious, langorous and golden muse for our art monkeys to sketch rhapsodically. With a tipsy nod to some particular artistic forebears, Honey sashayed in summer with a bohemian feel - all curves, swish and style.
Book a seat on this flight of fancy, and experience first class life drawing in Bohemian style. Drinking, drawing and daydreaming will be on the palette this summer eve'. The statuesque Honey Van Hooch will tempt and enchant you, sharing her considerable talents for your sketching pleasure.
Imagine you are spending a summer creating art at the grand, but charming, estate of a dear, dear friend. Your days are spent painting, drawing and lounging under trees, and drunken nights are spent playing scandalous parlour games.
Dress as the eccentric artiste that we know is inside you.

October is one of our favourite times of the year - when the sun starts to shine and all the skeletons come dancing out of the closet for halloween hijinks. We welcomed back to our stage the wonderful Ruby Ruin our for Dia De Los Muertos themed sketching session. The stage was set with swathes of flowers - not just crepe ones! Set against a riot of colour and lights, an enshrined Ruby held sway over our art monkeys as they sketched her avidly.
Tawdry and Rosie were on the door - guiding our (misguided) art monkeys into the depths of drawing depravity once again!
Hola amigos,
Get ready for a life drawing class like no other – drinking, drawing and dames. This session we're paying tribute to the ancient mexican celebration known as dia de los muertos, or day of the dead.
Our starring model, Ruby Ruin, is hotter than jalapenos! She'll illuminate the stage, and our souls, at the altar de muertos. It's bound to be a memorial occasion.
Bring your own drawing equipment, and feel free to dress up for this fiesta.
Our sponsors are muy buena onda! Absolution,
For September we couldn't help but succumb to the Rugby World Cup fever pervading our antipodean nation. The bats, balls and boxes were out in force for our sports themed session starring Henry Flower - the stamen with stamina!
MC Hells Belle kept us all in line with a whistle round her neck and red cards at the ready. Our art monkeys came dressed in scrum-ptious sporting attire - from a kick boxing femme fatale to a sweetheart cheerleader and a Hufflepuff quiddich player; while our paparazzi Paige Turner moonlighted as Penis Williams.
Warm up sketches ensured no strains or sprains as Henry flexed into fine form for our audience.
Don your uniform, do your stretches, and join us for the champion of all drawing classes. Featured events include drinking, drawing, warming up, and winning gold. Heavy medal! Mr. Henry Flower, the Stamen with Stamina, will demonstrate his athletic prowess, and pose for your racy sketches. Hop, skip and jump to the Canterbury Bowling Club for this evening meet. Bring your drawing gear and p.e. kit. Or a signed excuse note from a parent or guardian. Our sponsors are rucking scrumptious! Absolution, Gordon Harris, Madam Butterfly’s Vintage Style
