The Body Exquisite: Shibari Life Drawing Salon 15 August

We are running the last Body Exquisite of 2024 at the Crypt Gallery on Thursday 5 September: info and tickets here

We hope you will join us to draw with the dynamic Rhiannon @burgundy_rose and partner with live soundscapes by @tom_h_visualsound

Let us take you by the hand into the fabulously atmospheric chambers of The Crypt for a candle lit life drawing session of sensuality and physicality-

In Japanese, “Shibari” simply means “to tie”. The contemporary meaning of Shibari describes an ancient Japanese artistic form of rope tying. Shibari style rigging creates geometric patterns and shapes with rope that contrast beautifully with the body’s flesh.

This is a very intimate and completely immersive drawing experience and a chance to observe the incredibly close relationship between model and rigger, the physcial and emotional experience of the model, the sensuality, vulnerability and strength of the manipulated body and the sheer physicality of the body suspended.

A truly beautiful and unforgettable evening of drawing.
