Drink & Draw: Flaming June - A Study in Repose and Radiant Form

Thursday 18 June 2026, 7pm - 9pm; doors open at 6:30pm 

Immerse yourself in the languid beauty and sun-drenched atmosphere of Frederic Leighton's iconic "Flaming June" in this unique life drawing workshop. We'll delve into the captivating pose and radiant form of Leighton's sleeping muse, exploring the nuances of relaxed anatomy and the interplay of light and shadow that define this masterpiece.
