Saturday Afternoon Life Drawing & Painting LONG POSE
This is just a studio session, with no Zoom.
We will have a life model in the same pose for three hours in the afternoon, usually for two consecutive weeks.
This is an untutored session run by a professional painter who will always be happy to give advice.
Other than model breaks, usually every 25 minutes, we break for tea and cake at 3.30pm for twenty minutes.
Our studio is divided up into workstations or ‘positions’ and whilst each position has a good view of the model many artists prefer to be front and centre. (Actually, you often get a more interesting composition to the side of the room).
You can also just turn up at the studio on spec and find a place to paint.
Our studio has a light and friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, come and paint with us! We have a wonderful community of artists who join us each week.
Costs
From £20 – £25 per session

The Art of Chiaroscuro Photography - Light & Shadow workshop
Today we'll be looking at the work of the Italian artist Caravaggio. Caravaggio adopted *chiaroscuro* lighting in his paintings in the 16th century. *Chiaroscuro* is an Italian term referencing the contrast of light (chiar) and dark (oscuro) to model three-dimensional forms.
It’s a style that has quite dramatic results and one that photographers can use to create dramatic images.
**Join us for a workshop in 2 parts:**
* Informative session on the incredibly interesting life and work of Caravaggio
* Shoot chiaroscuro style
* We will also discuss street photography tips

Social before the exhibition.
Lucian Freud: Drawing into Painting will be the UK’s first museum exhibition to focus on the artist’s works on paper.
The exhibition explores the artist’s lifelong preoccupation with the human face and figure from the 1930s to the early 21st century, focusing on Freud’s mastery of drawing. In addition, a carefully selected group of important paintings will reveal the dynamic dialogue between his practice on paper and on canvas.

Embodying Movement – Drawing Sensation
**Autumn Term 2025**
Spring Term
Sunday, March 1st
10.00am- 4.00pm
**Tutor: Daisy Perkins**
**Dancer and model: Flora Baltz**
*Cost £95*
Drawing and image making often works best when the whole of our mind-body is engaged.
* Discover new ways of drawing
* Respond to live movement with line, rhythm, gesture, and mass.
* Experiment with materials and scale, from fluid ink washes to large collaborative drawings, blending abstraction with the figure.
* Develop a resolved final work and leave with a fresh, embodied approach to mark-making that you can carry into your own practice.
During this workshop we will become interested in how we can connect with movement, and how we can use this to make more powerful uncontrived visual statements.
* **Notice how your own body feels and responds**
* **Let physical sensation, rhythm, and inner state guide mark-making**
* **Feel movement in the body before translating it into drawing**
This workshop brings together the disciplines of drawing and dance to explore new ways of seeing, sensing, and making. Guided by Daisy and working with a dancer, participants will step beyond conventional figure drawing into a more embodied, responsive practice. You’ll begin by treating the hand as a seismograph—a recorder of rhythm and presence rather than mere outline—using movement awareness, gestural drawing, and collective mark-making to open up expressive possibilities.
You’ll develop from free-flowing experiments into a resolved final work that blends abstraction, gesture, and form. Along the way, you’ll try out a variety of dry and wet media and experiment with mass, line, erasure, expression, disruption and layering, as you learn to capture both motion and stillness. With space for reflection and discussion built in, the workshop offers not only technical exploration but also a deepening sense of the creative process. Attendees will leave with fresh approaches to drawing the figure, a body of experimental works, and the beginnings of a personal language informed by movement, rhythm, and embodied experience.
* We will be working with a nude dancer
* Materials provided
* We plan to share a vegetarian lunch £12, optional.

KUMIKO COASTERS
**Bookable via our website ➡️** https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/kumiko-coasters-53/
**⋆⋆⋆**
Kumiko Coasters
Woodwork knowledge is endless.
Here is an opportunity to experience the delicate side of Japanese woodwork in this one-day workshop.
Kumiko is a delicate and sophisticated technique of assembling wooden pieces without the use of nails. Thinly slit wooden pieces are grooved, punched, and mortised, and then fitted individually using a plane, saw, chisel, and other tools to make fine adjustments.
The technique was developed in Japan in the Asuka Era (600-700 AD), and has since been refined and passed down through generations of craftsmen who are passionate about the tradition of Kumiko.
Traditionally, the technique has been used for room dividers and sliding doors but now designers are using the patterns to explore decoration in lights, lampshades, and other furniture.
During the day you will have a chance to make two exquisite Kumiko tiles using lime wood or walnut.
For extra rigidity, we have glued the tiles as they were made. It’s your choice!
This workshop will be guided by Auram Desforges who teaches our longer Kumiko Lamp course.
All materials and use of tools included.
Suitable for absolute beginners.

A bog can serve the same functions as a traditional rain garden but has the advantages of being low maintenance, climate resilient and attractive for a much longer part of the year.
David Marsolo is a long time Wild Ones member. He has been maintaining artificial bogs at his suburban Westerville home for about 20 years. He will describe how to install a bog and fill it with many interesting native plants including pollinator and host plants
