Sunday 13 - Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Burlesque life drawing class (Speakeasy).

Dr Sketchy is what happens when cabaret meets art school!

The audience draws a glamorous model: a cabaret star, burlesque diva or drag queen; a charming host awards prizes and encourages the audience to make art and mischief in equal measure; short performances get the creative juices flowing. All of this combines to create a delightfully decadent mix of cabaret, performance art and good old fashioned pen and paper!

Conceived in 2005 by New York artist Molly Crabapple, Dr. Sketchy now boasts 21 branches around the world, from Hollywood to Melbourne. In 2006 Phyllis Martin, cabaret producer and Edinburgh Fringe addict, founded Dr Sketchy Scotland. It's been a tremendous success, and 2007 sees Dr Sketchy Scotland bringing a bevvy of burlesque beauties to The Arches in Glasgow.

From 3 - 5pm. £6 to draw, £4 entry to drink/watch.
