Life Drawing classes only three minutes walk from Macclesfield Train Station

Launching in 2026, Now, Draw! offers drawing classes in Macclesfield. If you want to begin, improve, or develop a drawing practice while spending time with like-minded people, you've come to the right place.

Drawing is about doing something simple and human. It's about learning how to look, and learning how to make your mark. Whether you're completely new, returning after time away, or advanced, you'll be supported in starting exactly where you are.

Classes are well-structured, and focused, creating space for genuine progress. You'll be guided through practical approaches to drawing with demonstrations, clear explanations, and individual feedback.

Life Drawing on Saturdays 11-1pm is a relaxed, supportive class and will be led by professional artist Susannah Pal.

About the Wellbeing Space

The session will take place at The Wellbeing Space, a light, calm studio in a beautifully converted mill. The room is airy and thoughtfully designed, with plants, soft lighting, and a variety of seating options.

It's a space created for wellbeing classes and workshops. It is a quiet place to focus and draw.

The space is accessed via a set of stairs, unfortunately there is no lift access

There are toilets available for use during the session

this is a shoes-off space, so feel free to bring warm socks.

Refreshments - free tea and coffee
