Costumed Lifedrawing with Swashbuckling Cornwall

Swashbuckling Cornwall are regular workshop hosts at The Poly, sharing their passion and expertise in historical costume and stage combat for theatre and film.

Last month, they staged their first livestreamed costumed life drawing in The Poly's Main Gallery, and they’re back with more this Easter Saturday. A new twist for these sessions will let participants explore storytelling through drawing, with a storyline/character backstory option.

These customisable sessions let you choose from three different camera angles and shot styles to capture the five-minute to fifteen-minute poses. With different models and costumes, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and request poses.

Choose from two 90-minute sessions:

Saturday 3^rd April, 10.15am – 11.30am
Quest for the Dragon’s Egg (knights)

Saturday 3^rd April, 1.00pm – 2.30pm
Swashbucklers and Buccaneers (pirates)
