A unique figure drawing class is making its mark in Clayton and the neighboring towns, offering artists at all levels the chance to sharpen their skills in a lively group setting.

Local artists and newcomers alike come together for a session where everyone rotates as a model—meaning participants have the opportunity to both draw and be drawn.

This collaborative twist adds a sense of camaraderie and fun that sets this gathering apart from traditional workshops.

Organizers encourage anyone interested in becoming a volunteer model—no professional experience required.

Even those who’d just like to pose and not sketch are welcomed, often leaving with a quick portrait as a souvenir.

This approach benefits local creatives by making sessions free and accessible to all, without steep admission fees.

Recently, the addition of portrait drawing class and gesture drawing class sessions has expanded the possibilities for exploration with figure and head studies.

Clayton’s vibrant arts community was eager for a new way to gather, and this class fits the bill perfectly.

Participants are permitted to use pencil, watercolor, acrylic, or oil (with odorless solvents only), but are asked to stick to small surfaces for practical reasons.

Heart2Hands Art Gallery provides the welcoming space, with the ambiance of downtown Clayton fueling fresh inspiration and connections.

For artists in Clayton and nearby, this figure drawing class is a chance to stretch creative muscles, meet like-minded locals, and contribute to a growing creative scene.
