For all you little love birds we thought we’d treat you to some artistic debauchery this Valentines 💋
Our ‘build your own boyfriend‘ sculpture class is perfect for Galentines & Palentines parties or a Ghost inspired Valentines date 🥂
We’ll be sculpting a nude male model - Gareth Valentino - on beautiful terracotta coloured air dry clay
- and yes, there will be a demonstration on how to mould a penis for your sculpture (we got you 🍆 ).
You’ll have instruction and individual help throughout the evening from our life drawing instructor Amber (she/her) and our sculpture instructor Ellie (they/he).
- There is also a 10% discount at the Omnibus Theatre bar for anyone who shows their artworks to the bartender 🥂
On Valentines Day evening we are doing a special life drawing date night class for all you couples out there in the Ballroom above the Balham Bowls Club, 14th February, 7:30-9pm.
Who are we? Red Art Club is a small, independent art business based in Clapham Common.
We do weekly evening life drawing classes on Wednesdays and Fridays, 7:30-9pm and monthly dating events for singletons with the Thursday Dating app (i.e. we already play cupid every month 💘).
⭐️ Follow us on instagram @redartclub_ to keep up with all our events, we host a different model for each session who are announced each Sunday for the coming weeks sessions⭐️
All sculpture materials are provided. These are: 1kg clay per student, clay tools, prepped wire armature, wire tools, a wooden board, an A3 canvas board, paper and drawing materials.
We provide block reservations for groups. In order to book a group of seats together please email us redartclub@hotmail.com with your name and group size so we can seat you all together, especially if you have booked separately.
