Everyone an Artist, Everyone a Muse: a Naturist Attitude

The Drawing Circle

In a circle of no more than eight people, we will take turns drawing and modelling for one another. Each participant becomes both artist and muse: observing, being observed, making marks and offering their bare presence to the group.

This is a fully nude life drawing experience, and participants should be genuinely comfortable with being nude in front of others and with seeing other participants nude. A relaxed, open-minded naturist attitude is an essential part of the experience: nudity is approached naturally, without judgement, sexualisation or embarrassment.

No modelling or drawing experience is required. You don't need to “perform” or have a particular type of body,  simply to be comfortable sharing your presence as it is. Modelling is always approached with care, consent and mutual respect.

This is not about creating perfect drawings or about the body as a sexual object. It is an opportunity to explore the human body, presence and connection through simple poses, intuitive marks and shared creativity.

The session is a respectful space, and everyone's personal boundaries are respected throughout. You can always decline a pose or exercise.
