Summer Sessions start tonight! - The Rules

To remind you, we'll start at 7:30 sharp, so please arrive ahead of time.  I'll plan on unlocking the door at 7:15.

The Rules:
  1. No chit chat while drawing is in progress.
  2. The model gets a 10 minute break at the hour mark (8:30 p.m.), in case you're facilitating.
  3. No photography during sessions.
  4. Please refrain from writing the models' names on your paper or in blog posts, etc...for the sake of privacy.
  5. And, of course, clean up after yourself, especially if you're using pastels/crumbly charcoals, etc...If you're using fixative, please spray it outside.
http://limerickfiguredrawing.blogspot.com/  You're all encouraged to photograph your drawings at home and post them on the blog and to participate in the discussions. 
Those of you not already listed as blog contributors have been sent an invitation.  For ye technophobes, blogging is really easy- and free!

Limerick Figure Drawing Society- New Location!

Hi Everyone,

Good news-  Marie-Clare approached the nice folk at Raggle Taggle Studios and Gallery about using their space on Monday nights, and YES, we can schedule sessions there!
For use of the space, they want 2 euro per person each session.  It's a great deal and we won't have to deal with rent, ESB bills, etc...
Raggle Taggle is located very near the corner of Sarsfield and Henry St. in the old National Bank building.

I discussed the Summer sessions schedule with Marie-Clare and we decided upon a 6 week block from June 25th to July 30th.
Monday nights, 7:30-9:30. 

The cost would be 60 euro (10 euro per session for 6 sessions) for new members (people who weren't members for the first 10 week block this year) and guests. 
The remainder of the cost of the model will be evenly split between the remaining members.

The 2 euro per session will be paid directly to Raggle Taggle on each night.  There is a slush fund that could go towards the first few weeks for that.

We'll take August off and start up again in mid September for a 10 week block.

Please let me know if you want to sign up for the summer block.  And tell your friends- I'd like at least 10 people signed up!
