GoFigure - Pop Up Life Penrith (PULP) Sessions
PULP is part of the GoFigure Group and are all day life drawing events for artists to undertake drawing/painting from life.
Initial warm up poses are followed by a single pose, starting at 11:25 and lasting for the rest of the day. This enables artists to undertake an in-depth study from life, or for those artists wishing to do more than one piece, moving around the model is encouraged. The number of attendees at each session is limited to 16. This enables everyone to have adequate views of the model.
Sessions have been organised for the following dates:
-
7 September, 2nd November, 1st December 2024.

Fees - £20 per day
In order that costs are kept as low as possible, fees will need to be paid in advance and attendees will be encouraged to book a number of events in advance. This advance booking will allow clarity in respect of numbers attending, so that models and venues can be booked with certainty.
If there is enthusiasm for this life art opportunity the plan would be to continue with further PULP events into the future.
In order to make the events viable, once a booking has been confirmed, a refund would not normally be considered.
General information
