Ferntree Gully Arts Society Inc.
157 Underwood Rd, Ferntree Gully VIC 3156 (Melway ref: 74 C2)
Cost for becoming a member is $50/year, although the gallery is focused on people who paint rather than sculptors the ASV is always interested in life drawing workshops. I am not sure if the price they charge is competitive to what the ASV has found before, but at least you don’t have to get a certain number of people to do this, and you don’t have to be a member to attend the workshops.

Workshops and Classes 2019
TUESDAYS: Life Drawing Group. We are a friendly group of artists, who enjoy a cuppa and a chat half time. It is a casual workshop which allows you to attend when you can.
