RAM affiliated life art workshops and classes

Life art workshops and classes are said to be RAM affiliated if they use only RAM members or models auditioning to join, and pay the RAM members at least the RAM rate (currently £12 per hour).  Affiliated groups are not obliged to audition people in order to recommend them for membership of RAM, but this service is very useful.  ('Erotic' art groups cannot audition models for membership).  Payment of auditioning models is discretionary.  If you qualify for affiliation,  form-mail us with details of your sessions and we will put them on this page.

COCKFOSTERS

These classes are very old-established and successful.  All levels of ability are welcome.  I have excellent access to a large artists' materials company and students can order items at the class for the following week.  I also have a stock of basic pastel paper, still at 10p per sheet!

The RAM models I employ are outstandingly good - professional, pleasant and inspiring in their poses.  Each model is booked for two consecutive weeks, and there are a few short poses followed by a longer one.  A variety of media is used, icluding charcoal, pencil, waterclour and acrylics.  Teaching is on a one-to-one basis in a group setting.

Fees are £135 for a term of ten sessions, payable in advance to ensure there is no overcrowding.
