On the last Sunday of the month Our Creative Community is hosting a series of unique events in collaboration with The Royal Photographic Society. They both believe this unique experience provides a healthy and alternative view to the edited images of bodies we see every day in the media.
This workshop will help teens appreciate their originality and quirks while involving them in the more fun and expressive side of art, that's not usually available to younger creatives.
The session will be led by an experienced tutor, Kate, who is a passionate teacher with over a decade of teaching experience and has led life drawing classes within many prominent institutions including Badminton School.
What to expect:
- A 90-minute life drawing workshop for teens with a DBS-checked model
- Your nude model will make several poses for your group to draw from
- All equipment will be provided
- Attendees are welcome to bring along any additional equipment they wish
- Suitable for ages 12+. Attendees aged 12 will be required to bring a parent/carer with them for the duration of the session
- All attendees under 18 will be required to have a parent/carer complete a consent form beforehand
- All other parents/carers are free to join should they wish, but this is not required
- The RPS is offering discounted coffee from their in house coffee shop to all attendees, parents and carers.

Really good for teen girls especially to do something creative whilst learning to love their bodies. A very positive environment. My teen likes to do every class available, whenever possible, she loves it so much!
We love the life drawing sessions, such a fantastic opportunity for young people to be able to experience this art challenge and develop such great skills, increasing their confidence as well. Kate creates a warm and welcoming environment, she is so encouraging and my girls flourish under her guidance and experience.
My two daughters have been attending the Life Drawing workshops with Kate. She facilitates a great group which is so warm and encouraging. It is a fantastic opportunity for young people to be able to draw a live model, be inspired by models who are so body confident with their different shapes and sizes. I have watched my daughters' confidence in drawing bodies grow and their art skills with different mediums develop. They love learning with Kate. I'm so grateful they can have this opportunity.
Great session. Models were stunning. Didn’t feel awkward at all because models and host were so good and welcoming
My daughter absolutely loves drawing so booked her on this after seeing it advertised on Facebook. She absolutely loved it and asked if she can do the next one. Now booked and waiting for the end of March. Would definitely love to see more dates added as we would book onto those as well.
My 14 year old daughter who did this session loved it. She was initially reticent about drawing a nude model but said she soon became comfortable. She enjoyed the timed drawings and came home with a number of great pictures she is really proud of and really are amazing. She can't wait for the next session. Fantatistic opportunity, and amazing value Highly recommend. Looking out for more workshops. Thank you!
