Welcome to Now, Draw!
Welcome to Now, Draw!
Launching in 2026, Now, Draw! offers drawing classes in Macclesfield for people in the Greater Manchester area. If you want to begin, improve, or develop a drawing practice while spending time with like-minded people, you’ve come to the right place.
Drawing is about doing something simple and human. It’s about learning how to look, and learning how to make your mark. Whether you’re completely new, returning after time away, or advanced, you’ll be supported in starting exactly where you are.
Classes are well-structured, and focused, creating space for genuine progress. You’ll be guided through practical approaches to drawing with demonstrations, clear explanations, and individual feedback.
Now, Draw! - and learn how to keep going…
