Ray, who runs the Thursday sessions is arranging an organising an opportunity for artists and models to attend the Life Model Sculptural Studio Session at the China Academy of Arts (CAA) in Hangzhou, China. The sessions run for either 8 weeks (full size sculpture) or 4.5 weeks (1/2 size sculpture).
This sounds like an amazing experience for both artists and models. You can find out more about the experience and how to join here.
