Dr Sketchy’s is a life-drawing class like no other – drawing and drinking with a side of burlesque! POSTPONED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 18 NOVEMBER, 7PM
Now in its tenth year in Ōtautahi, it’s where shy people can mix with extroverts in a queer-friendly fun crowd. The Sketchy’s ladies are joined by a special guest model bringing costume changes and wow-surprises.
A variety of art materials are provided, and all drawing abilities are welcomed and rewarded. First pose at 6.30pm. Caution: adult themes and humour, but no actual nudity. PG rating estimated – progressive families with teens welcome.
