Announcing Fall 2026 Alumni Open Drawing & Sculpture Sessions!

PAFA is pleased to announce the relaunch of two uninstructed workshops - Open Drawing and Open Sculpture.  These workshops serve as dedicated spaces for alumni to build community and work with either sculpture or drawing materials live from the model.  While this is uninstructed, independent work time, there will be a faculty monitor on hand for both sessions to tend to the model and address classroom logistics.  Please use the links below to register for one of these sessions:

Drawing 
  • Six-week sessions will feature poses of different lengths from a variety of models. Participants are responsible for supplying their own drawing boards and materials and are welcome to work in their choice of media within PAFA's rules for permitted materials and clean air policies. A faculty monitor will be onsite for pose set-up and basic supervision, but instruction is not provided.
 
  • Each six-week session will consist of (2) three-week poses with different models. Participants are expected to bring/provide their own armatures and clay. A faculty monitor will be onsite for pose set-up and basic supervision, but instruction is not provided.
