Thursday Night Life Drawing at FLUX Studios D8

What to Expect

FLUX Studios runs a weekly evening life drawing session out of its D8 space every Thursday, with a live model posing across a mix of short warm-up poses and longer studies through the session. It is pitched as open to artists of any level, from complete beginners picking up a pencil for the first time to people who draw regularly and want a dedicated evening slot with a model rather than working from photos. Materials advice and basic guidance are generally on hand for newcomers, though the format leans toward self-directed practice rather than a taught class - you bring your own materials and work at your own pace across the session.

The studio itself is a working art space rather than a polished event venue, which suits the informal, drop-in feel of the night. Sessions run roughly two hours, giving enough time to warm up and then settle into one or two longer poses. It has built a steady following among Dublin’s amateur and semi-professional artists as one of the more consistent recurring life drawing nights in the city, running alongside FLUX’s Tuesday session at their D2 studio.
