About this event
Take part in our popular Life Drawing Late sessions! These monthly workshops are themed to challenge drawing skills and develop creativity in a welcoming atmosphere. For our final life drawing session of 2026 we’re delighted to welcome back burlesque performer Jade Stargaze for what has become a Salford Museum festive tradition. Jade will be posing, performing and singing while we explore creative ways to capture movement in drawing. This will be a fun and engaging workshop which has become a regular fixture due to its popularity so early booking is recommended. The session will be led by professional illustrator Paul Pickford. Materials will be provided including graphite, coloured pencils, paper and boards. You’re also welcome to bring your own materials if you wish, including electronic devices, provided these are ‘dry’ – so no inks or paints to help protect our collections. This session will be taking place in our Victorian Gallery and the model will be nude or partially nude. All materials included. Adult £10 | Student £7, all materials included. Book early to avoid disappointment! Participants must be aged 16 years and over. All parking is paid for on arrival either online, by phone or via the onsite machine. Charging of devices is not permitted in our gallery spaces.

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
