Pingback: A draw to the death! | ART MACABRE DRAWING SALONS
Hi!
I reviewed your wonderful drawing salon over on my blog: http://rumade.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/life-drawing-review-art-macabre-at-cass.html
It was great fun and I had a wonderful time. Hope to join you again if I’ve got pocked money left over once I pay rent.
do we buy tickets on the door or before hand?
It’s best to buy tickets in advance, via Cass Art by calling their flagship store in Islington, although sometimes tickets are available on the door on the day. Wouldnt want you to be disappointed and miss out though! We’ll keep the blog and twitter updated as to when we sell out @ArtMacabreLDN
Tix will be available to buy online as of next month we’re excited to annouce, but until then give the lovely people at Cass Art a call on 020 7354 2999
Really bummed i will miss the 8 Sep event at Hackney – PLEASE please please, can you do another one…? can be a different theme… but same carnival events? I guess… Carnivale…?
Ah, Angela- that’s a shame you can’t make it. But indeed, we love our Circus of Skeletons and there are many more carnival and sideshow freak characters to be introduced yet, so don’t you worry- we shall have another one in the future!
I have double booked myself – I have booked the Halloween Special, even though I can’t make it because I’ve got the theatre booked the same night! Which one to do…
Why, the answer is clear…choose us all the way!
Having trouble paying for the November event, it’s forcing me to use my PayPal account which I just don’t use…?
Hi Angela, if you really don’t want to use Paypal to pay for this one, then I can accept cash at the next event you’re at and make sure you’re on the ticket list? Are you coming to any more October ones before then? Can give me cash for earlybird price then? Loved your iPad drawings on twitter!
Apart from the one in Kingston, I am booked for all the other October ones… the only thing is that I’m double booked for both events! But for sure I can make the Derby one… I’ll pay you cash next time I see you. Put me on the ticketlist! I’ll let you know which October one I can definitely make.
Is there Skate Hire?
Ah, no Angela! It’s not a skating event! Just skater models, stories etc but you can’t skate yourself…skating and drawing at the same time would be very very tricky!!
Oh phew!
will miss the Barts one, already have theatre booked but can make the other ones…
For Movember, will one of your models have a mo… er, elsewhere? cos that would be interesting! 🙂
