Figure drawing is making its inaugural appearance at TraillWorks,
by way of open studios, beginning tomorrow night! Come get your draw on
for the only open figure drawing sessions in Sussex County, NJ. It's
been two-years in the making since I've thought about offering figure
drawing studios in Newton. Finally it has come to fruition due to a
number of things. First, over a year ago I got a solicitation via email
from a prospective model. Then a friend was interested in teaching a
workshop - we held two with said model. Finally we saw a population
wanting this opportunity, a trustworthy good model was found, and my
friend was interested in moderating sessions.
Then
my progress forward slowed when my friend could no longer moderate due
to work constraints. At the same time, I got tripped up on some
questions with insurance and dealing with models. I was hoping to begin
all of this in the beginning of January, but the phone calls and
coordination between many parties has truly taken a month. It is no
small feet to get a new program up and running. All is in place, so see
below to learn about the details.
THE DETAILS:
So,
without further adieu, we will begin our weekly figure drawing sessions
tomorrow. We've worked out some great options for attending, such as
paying weekly or buying flex-sessions up front. Also we've set up a
reward system to earn a free session for every 10 you attend. Sessions
will run from 7 - 9:30pm every Tuesday. Tomorrow's model is Jim Carvalho, a professional model who has been great to work with. If you'd like to register or learn more, visit our Eventbrite page.
We
are still looking for models, especially women, to add to our roster.
If you know of someone or are interested yourself, please send a resume,
references to figuredrawing@traillworks.com. I hope to see you tomorrow night at TraillWorks located at 214 Spring Street in Newton, NJ.
