Thamesmead Life Drawing
Welcome to Southeast London’s newest
Life Drawing class
Based in the Lakeside Centre and Artist Studios, Thamesmead Life Drawing was brings life drawing to residents of SE2 and SE28 and the surrounding areas in Bexley and Greenwich.
Suitable for artists and beginners aged 17 and above, the sessions bring professional and experienced life-models from all over Greater London to Thamesmead to pose nude for the participants
In this strange period of grace in which self-isolation and #stayhome is important to protect the NHS and keep our loved ones safe, as of the 23rd of March we went virtual, running our sessions online. Now we have artists from all over the world joining us every Tuesday evening for two hours of mindful practice.
Set up by actor and artist Jamie Zubairi to bring this creative activity to Thamesmead when he found there to be very little artistic activity for adults in his local area.

The sessions are untutored though Jamie is on hand for guidance should anyone feel the need to learn a new way of looking and interpreting onto paper. Jamie guides the model into timed poses of differing lengths.
You are encouraged to bring your own media to work in (whether it is inks or iPads!) but basic drawing equipment is supplied free. Drawing boards, paper, pencils, charcoal and erasers. Also cups of tea and biscuits!
