Dr Sketchy's is what happens when cabaret meets art school!

Fancy having a scribble but not sure where to start?
Need something fabulous for a Saturday afternoon?
Delicious burlesque divas to draw, great tunes, cold drinks and good times to get your inspirational juices flowing. Welcome to Anti-Art School...
We comb Scotland to find the most beautiful burlesque dancers and divas, then we let you draw them for two hours.
