Every month we run a life drawing evening called ‘Drawn to Rope’, in collaboration with our artist friend InkyLayla. The event pre-dates Anatomie as we’ve been running it since 2014 in various London venues before finding our permanent home. For this reason this event is a staple of the studio!

What to expect?

The event runs from 7pm tp 10pm - we usually open the space at 6:30pm for folks to set-up and settle in. We provide some materials (paper and drawing/painting materials) but you are also invited to bring your own. There is a mix of levels in terms of drawing ability, some novice enthusiasts and also some more expert folks.

The event is split in two halves with a 20 min break in the middle. Every event we welcome different tying pairs and we try to provide variety in terms of rope styles, dynamics, bodies, genders etc. Poses range between 30 seconds and 15 minutes - poses are short due to the nature of rope (it's tough!) - and you'll be able to draw a variety of floor and suspension poses.

The photo policy varies between guests and will be revealed on the day.

What to bring?

We provide some materials (paper and drawing/painting materials) but you are also invited to bring your own. You are welcome to bring drinks and food - we have a small kitchenette with fridge and microwave. We also offer free teas and coffee.

Joh and Carlo met over the donation of a fancy toaster back in 2023. This marked the start of a journey for both of them, together in ropes and individually on a voyage of learning more about the hobby. Carlo was making the shift to living nomadically, travelling non stop and learning more about the art across multiple continents. Joh has been learning under a variety of wonderful teachers and finding their voice with rope. Despite the distance, they always come back together as if attached by an invisible rope, and the energy they bring is just as hot as the toaster that started it all.
