“Come join a lovely group of people and enjoy drawing two amazing models. The music will be chosen by the models through a collaborative playlist so the session is what they make it! We will start off the session with a few quick poses to warm up then move onto longer poses that’ll allow you to focus on detail.

 Sessions include wine and hot beverages. Basic materials are provided but we encourage you to bring your own. All levels are welcomed! ✨”

“Improvise your success! Together with the clownish improvisors from the University of Bristol Improv Society, you will find weird and wacky solutions to all of life’s problems and ways to play with all its failures. In this hilarious long-form improv, it’s you who gets to decide the nature of its ending and explore how success and failure is just two sides of the same coin. So come all you silly smarties, and join us on a journey you won’t regret!”
