Life Drawing

A black and white photo of an art class with students sketching a female model posing on a table. The students are seated on stools or on the floor, using drawing boards and easels. The room has a high ceiling with large windows allowing natural light.

Social life drawing classes held across Sydney and the Central Coast. Grab a glass of bubbes, a stick of charcoal and celebrate the beauty of the female form.

Women’s Only Classes

I believe strongly in model diversity and representation in terms of age and body size. There is no one type of body and in turn our classes will reflect this. Most of our models are completely new to posing nude and have chosen to model with the intention of having fun in a safe female only environment; to try something new and challenge themselves and for some, find a love and acceptance for their own body.

Relaxed social life drawing, these are not your traditional art classes. While guidance and tips will be given, classes are intended to be fun and celebratory, a chance to appreciate the endless beauty of the female form while making new friendships and hopefully leave feeling a little more in love with your own bodies.

Social Sketching

Topless Bathhouse Mini Retreat

Upcomimng Events

Saturday August 30th

5pm-7.30pm

Central Coast Float Umina

Step into an intimate, empowering experience designed to celebrate the body and soothe the soul. Begin the afternoon with a life drawing session guided by artist Jessica Davina honouring the feminine form in all its beauty. Flow gently into a meditation guided by yoga teacher, Amy Lee grounding your body, mind and energy. 

 Then, shed the outside world and embrace freedom in our hour-long topless bathhouse experience, featuring a traditional cedar wood sauna and mineral hot and cold plunge pools. Jessica and Amy will be present for the whole journey, supporting and facilitating throughout, including the topless bathhouse experience. 

 This is your space to connect — with yourself, with other likeminded women, and with the art of being present. Jessica and Amy hope women leave feeling more connected and empowered, both within themselves and with the women around them. Bathhouse experiences have been a staple for women for centuries, a place to be themselves, to talk, laugh and connect away from their outside roles. 

*Please note, this is women's only and we have exclusive use of the venue. No other guest will be present*

Past Events

Central Coast

Wine Tasting - Jazz - Burlesque life drawing

Join us for a night of burlesque themed life drawing, wine tasting and live jazz at Central Coast’s favourite boutique wine store and tasting room, Upstairs Wines at Ettalong.

Whether you identify as a girl, gay, or they, everyone from the LGBTQ+ community is welcome to come and enjoy an evening sipping the very best wines and sketching our gorgeous queer burlesque model.

 This is a relaxed social life drawing and wine tasting experience. This means there will be lots chatting and laughing and this is by no means a formal drawing class. While guidance and drawing tips will be given, this night is very much about the great company, fabulous music and beautiful wines, all of which will be enjoyed as we celebrate the gorgeous female form through pencil and charcoal.

This event promises an unforgettable experience of all the good things in life - art, wine, live music and great company.
