A brilliant place to explore you creative side, meet new people, make friends and most importantly have great fun!

Our Mission

At Life Drawing Manchester, our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for artists of all levels to learn, grow, and connect. Through our diverse range of drawing exercises and professional models, we aim to inspire creativity and foster a supportive community where artists can thrive.

What to Expect

Each class at Life Drawing Manchester offers a unique and engaging experience. From short gesture poses to longer sessions, our classes are designed to challenge and inspire artists of all backgrounds. After the drawing session, join us downstairs at the Peer Hat for our legendary after-social, where you can share your work, connect with fellow artists, ‘meet with Manchester’s vibrant mix of creatives’ ie. emphasise the social and more light hearted element as ‘Manchester’s arts scene’ suggests a more professional artist environment which may possibly alienate some hobbyists or people just looking for a more casual fun and creative activity to do in the week.
