A new session, for a new season. Blending life drawing, live music and poetry, ‘Drawn to… Summer’ will reflect on the end of Spring, and celebrate the beginning of Summer.

We'll gather at The Secret Garden from 13.15, and set off to a location within Bute Park at 2pm. Please arrive before 2pm to ensure you can join the session. This will be an outdoor event, please dress accordingly. We will be seated on the ground. You are welcome to bring your own blankets, cushions and chairs to sit on.

Words, music and poses will respond to the shift in season, attendees will be invited to participate by drawing, sharing a piece of writing or by simply enjoying the performance. No previous writing or drawing experience is necessary. You may feel inspired to create works during the session, but there is no requirement to produce anything.

Hosted by Fra Beecher, of United Models Life Drawing, with music from Steven Kenward.

Materials for writing and drawing will be provided. You are also welcome to bring your own.

Models will be clothed, inspired by the season. Come as you are, or dress to celebrate the Summer.
