Life Class is now the Bolbec Art Group.
It continues to be an informal life drawing session held twice a week, currently Thursdays 6-9 and Saturdays 12.30-3.30.
We have now moved to a new venue in the lovely skylight lit top floor studio in Bolbec Hall, next to the Lit & Phil, just along from Central Station.

Members
Membership to the Bolbec Art Group, as we will be called, runs for six months at a time and costs £120 (£100 concessions*) payable in advance. You can pay by cheque, BACS, cash, or direct debit. If you would like to pay with BACS or direct debit please get in touch and we will send you our bank details. Membership reduces the cost of a class to £3 and will give you limited access to the space for your own art practice by prior arrangement.
For those who are not members there will be a one-off price of £10 per class (£7.50 concessions*), for the usual three hour format.
The Thursday class is in the evening 6-9pm, and is generally a set pose for the three hours with a break in the middle for coffee and biscuits. This pose can be repeated at a later date if anyone wishes to continue working on a particular drawing or painting.
The Saturday Class is 12.30-3.30pm, again with a tea/coffee break. This class starts with short poses for the first half hour and then we usually have a couple of longer poses before the break and a single hour pose after.
There are a few easels and drawing boards on a first come basis. You will need to bring your own materials and are not restricted to drawing.
Please try to arrive on time as we are only able to leave the door unlocked for a limited time. If the door is locked please ring the bell.
*Concessions are for students, the unemployed, and those on benefits.
