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

1 DAY Film-jam No.115
This event will be for people to meet, go off and film, come back and enjoy the results. Whatever you want to do, be it film, act, direct or even just sort of hang around at the back then this is the event for you!
MEET AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE NATIONAL THEATRE.
If you are wondering what this group can provide for you, it’s above all else friendship with other like minded people, whether you are a screenwriter, director, cameraperson, actor etc etc.
With that in mind, on Saturday we will do the following:
1. We’ll meet at the National Theatre on Southbank.
2. We’ll split into two groups (or more if needed)
3. Each team will try and beat the other teams to a pub in EC1 in London and edit (maybe) the film.
BUT
4. Each team must make a 2 minute 30 seconds film on the way with a beginning middle and end, a solid story arc for the main character, etc.
Remember to bring:
1. You and your enthusiasm
2. A camera (iPhones dslrs whatever)
3. Someone willing to do an edit after we arrive back at the on their computers
All teams will then meet-up at a pub in EC1 and watch what we have filmed, happy with what they have learnt!
The first team that finishes gets a Small Prize!
Hopefully then, you will stick around to have a great time chatting about film, meeting new people, and forgetting about work until the late hours.
Look forward to seeing you there!

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.

“Your life doesn’t happen in any kind of order. Events don’t have cause and effect relationships the way you wish they did. It’s all a series of fragments and repetitions and pattern formations. Language and water have this in common.”
\~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Directed by Kristen Stewart and based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s acclaimed memoir, this film is where cinema and memoir collide, and where water isn’t just the element, but a metaphor: for pain, for pleasure and for the lasting echo of a queer life lived fully.
*The Chronology of Water* traces the fragmented life of writer Lidia Yuknavitch, moving fluidly through childhood trauma, competitive swimming, sex, addiction, and artistic awakening. Told in impressionistic bursts rather than a linear narrative, the film treats memory like water—unstable, embodied, and impossible to contain. It’s less about redemption than survival: how a queer, unruly self is shaped through pain, desire, and the radical act of telling one’s own story.
**About Muse: The Cinephiles**
This is a cinephiles group for lesbians, queer and trans women predominantly, but is also open to the wider LGBTQIA+ community and their guests. We are committed to celebrating our queer community within a co-created ethos of mutual respect and kindness. We affirm and celebrate trans and non-binary people as member of our community. We stand against transphobia in all its forms.
Our aim is to provide a queer cinephiles group that stimulates a mix of thoughtful discussion, playfulness, and curiosity. Our screenings will focus predominantly on celebrating lesbian, queer and trans women – showcasing both celebrated and hidden queer cinema gems, we aim to foster a playful curiosity and build a vibrant, supportive community.
**Please note:** PHOTOS & VIDEOS will be taken at our events. Some of these will be posted on our social media. Please come and chat to a host if you would prefer not to appear online.
