Gladdy Drawing Club - Life drawing by Total Bore

By far Sydney’s best and most diverse lifedrawing club! Gladdy drawing club is such a safe and inclusive environment. They have the most diverse models and I know from experience they always put their models safety first no matter what while also ensuring artist (beginner to experienced) are comfortable and have fun.

- Bligh and Noni are 10/10
- LQBTQIA+ and fat body friendly for models and artists
- they host a 6pm and 8pm class to accommodate everyone’s needs.
- always a great crowd

Culture and pub life blended. Profesionally run drawing class with amazing models in safe setting.

Amazing life drawing community! Very welcoming and supportive - a lot of talented artists here! I’ve grown so much from joining this group. Highly recommended.

I attribute my sanity during Melbourne's covid lockdowns to their online sessions! Fantastic hosts, diverse models and a general chill and inclusive vibe. Could not compliment these guys enough!

A massive thank you to Bligh for helping me organise such a wonderful class! I reached out to Bligh asking to host a nude drawing for a hen’s party! From the get go, communication was seamless! The girls had SO MUCH fun! We were also blessed with Leigh’s presence which made the class even more exciting. This was when we requested the AC as things got a little heated The atmosphere was perfect and we couldn’t have done it without Bligh being our host! Thanks again! (We’ve already had people asking where we went and have asked for details to book their hens!).

Best life drawing classes, online and in-person! Bligh has built the most welcoming and safe life drawing community. Constantly upping the game with the most diverse cast of models. Continual stream of major guest artists coming in-person to draw and interview. Bligh will also bring you nice cold beers from the pub downstairs.

I'm a total beginner and I've found Gladdy Drawing Club to be extremely beginner friendly. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging for all skill levels.

I was recommended these guys after struggling to find affordable local sessions and I am forever thankful I did. Being online means I don’t miss out - it is so accessible and affordable. Gladdys truely has the raddest crew and features the most amazing models. Life drawing is one of my favourite activities and gladdys online sessions nails it every time. I could not recommend them more.

Gladdy Drawing Club is a wonderful life drawing club that’s become the home to a thriving community. I’ve been coming nearly every week for over a year now. Everyone from beginners to professional artists seem to have a blast in this welcoming, inspiring and delightfully weird environment. The facilitators (Bligh and Noni) and the diverse roster of models are top notch.

Excellent models! You can choose online session or in person as well. Also they provide a free drink during the session, good selection of drinks (best vodka in Sydney is there). Amazing gallery space

Without question the absolute best life drawing Sydney has to offer. Incredible models and brilliant hosts and you couldn't pick a better venue.don't even think about it just go

GDC (online and irl) feels and looks like the ideal family dinner! We all turn up weekly so the hosts Noni and Bligh can serve us up an amazing art/life experience, while the models set the table, the way they want it, with their obvious skill and professionalism. Meanwhile, we the artists (from absolute beginners through) can be seated comfortably alongside non judgemental family, friends and community to learn new drawing techniques, explore current art practices, enjoy great music and feast on the beauty and the diversity of the human form. This is a safe space, please feel welcome to join us.

One of the best life drawing places in town. Extremely friendly and inviting group, and very diverse professional models.

Bligh and Noni are pioneers of life drawing in Gadigal! Each and every week they run killer classes with amazing models! The community they have built is so welcoming and beautiful!

This group adopted me after I moved to Sydney, so outside of the talented models and time to practice your skills, you meet a fantastic array of people from all walks of life, an experience that shouldn't be missed

Excellent hosts, diverse models and a great way to start or continue your drawing journey. Keeping life drawing weird since 2020

I do the online classes from home each week. The models are professional and creative. The format of the class is excellent with short and longer poses. I really like the timer for each pose. The hosts play amazing, creative background music which I love. The hosts are respectful and help you really explore your creative skills. All from my own home. Fav night of the week. Highly recommend!

Gladdy Drawing Club will steal your heart! (right through the ARTery.) Great atmosphere to learn, get creative, or just have a few drinks while you're drawing a blank after work: D

Warning: it's addictive.

One of the best places for life drawing in Sydney, both remote and in person. Fantastic models, awesome music and great commentary, the sessions are run exceptionally well, and is an absolute bargain!

Hands down the best life drawing class in Sydney- maybe even the world! Bligh and Noni are warm, fun, inclusive hosts, making everyone of any level feel welcome. They’ve built an amazing creative community with so many insane models, guests and artists turn up, it’s the coolest night in town!
