Queer Sketch Club is a WEEKLY safe space - a LGBTQIA+ collective of creative individuals who want to have fun and make new friends.
Every WEDNESDAY will see a NEW model take to the stage, sometimes clothed, sometimes not. Basic materials (charcoal, pencils and paper) are provided, but feel free to bring your own art materials of choice. Please be aware this is a group, not a class, although basic advice will happily be shared.
Do arrive a little early to put some time into setting up and nab a good spot as seating is not reserved. Newbies are advised to introduce themselves to the host for extra guidance.
