Reconfigure: Life Drawing at Summerhall

Join warm and welcoming Reconfigure for an evening of untutored life drawing. With themes, narrative and props for extra juicy inspiration, eclectic tunes, and help if you need it!

Here’s what happens: whether you’re a seasoned pro or don’t know a pencil from a pen, we welcome all ages and all abilities – ESPECIALLY those of you who think you have NO abilities whatsoever.
You can strut in and confidently do your thing, or declare yourself clueless and ask for help; you can show off your work, or swiftly close your sketchbook if you’re shy. We welcome ALL of you.

Swing by the The Royal Dick Bar for a bevvy – hot or cold, alcoholic or non- and bring it in with you if you like. Drawing starts at 7pm and ends at 9pm. We sell out most weeks; please buy a ticket in advance or try to be timely- doors are at 6.30pm. 20 tickets are reserved for the door. We’re in the gorgeous wooden-pewed Anatomy Lecture Theatre – it’s a cosy space with great acoustics for our carefully curated playlists of eclectic tunes, or occasional live music. There is a different theme and model every week- use the theme to guide your inspiration or simply use the time as technical practice of drawing the nude. It’s £10/£8/£5 (self assessed concessions). For a guaranteed place book in advance. (See below for more ticket info/T&Cs.)

We supply various drawing paraphernalia to borrow (including boards and fixative), and you can buy A3 paper, pencils and sharpeners from us, as well as lovely sketchbooks of different sizes. Do bring your favourite tools if you have them – but it’s equally fine to turn up with nothing at all.

We look forward to welcoming you!
