FAQ's and T&C's for Life Drawing Hen Parties

But what if I can’t draw?
Don’t worry – most of our hens have little or no art experience, but greatly enjoy the classes. Our tutors are professional artists and art graduates so they can give you top tips or let you just draw wild depending on the mood of the class! It’s not a competition, but you will probably find that your skills improve over the course of the 2 hours – and we often get feedback that hens are going to continue with art when they get home!

Is the model nude?
Yes! But you can request a that they be partially clothed, if you really want.

Not everyone in our group wants to draw – can some of us just watch?
During the 2nd hour, when drawing the model, we ask that you don’t have any spectators. This is so that the model feels respected and is fulfilling their job by being drawn.

We are a mixed gender/LGBT+ group – can we book?
Absolutely! We also have a range of models so please just contact us

Can we have a shorter class?
Yes, we also offer a 1.5 hour class for those wanting to get to their afternoon tea or dinner, for example. Unfortunately we incur the same costs, so we charge the same rates for a shorter class.

What if more people join at the last minute – can we pay for extra hens on the day?
As long as you let us know your final hen total at least 2 weeks in advance of your date, the more the merrier! Unfortunately, with less than 2 weeks’ notice, it’s more difficult for us to order your extra materials and costume, but you can try. Just get in touch asap!

Some hens have dropped out, can we get a refund or discount?
We will honor our prices up until 2 weeks before and will reduce the balance invoice for you to reflect a more accurate number of hens. After that point, we take no responsibility for your hen count – we’ve already ordered your materials so we suggest you encourage your hens to commit to you well in advance.

Can we request a particular model?
We allocate models and tutors on a first-come, first-served regional basis, so we can never 100% guarantee your choice of model, but we will do our best. We take great pride in who we have recruited, which combines a package of look, experience and an ability to get on well with all of our parties. See our models and tutors page.

How do I pay?
50% deposit is paid over the telephone with a debit/credit card to secure your booking.  The remainder balance is due 14 days before the party, paid by the same method.  *Deposits paid are non-refundable.  If you need to cancel your party after full payment has been made, we only retain the deposit sum.

Can you come to our venue?
Yes! We can visit your venue pretty much anywhere in the UK. We regularly visit country cottages, big houses, hotels, private homes, function rooms, castles, and even yurts.

Is our venue suitable?
Your venue needs to be private – 100% sealed off from public view, with no one passing through. There also needs to be enough room and furniture for hens to sit down, a space for the model to sit (with respectful distances from your elbows!), and room for the tutor to move in between everyone.

Can we do the class outside?
If you have an outdoor area that’s 100% private, you may be able to do some or all of the class outside. Please check with your model and tutor on the day.

Can you provide a venue?
We can suggest a few that we have worked at before but we do not provide venues. We offer a mobile service, so we need you to organise the venue.
