I feel I must mention the wonderful work RAM model Lucy Saunders and her colleague, Esther Bunting do via the marvellous organisation Spirited Bodies. The idea is that anyone can model - and these group events are truly joyous occasions. They also, very kindly, audition models for RAM membership. Here is a recent Daily Mail article about them.: Keep up the good work, ladies!

At last, the new RAM site is revealed!! Have a look and let us know what you think!

Sculptor and stone carver Simon Keeley has just been informed that he is the Winner of the ' Craft & DesignMagazine -Selected Gold Award -Specialist Media'!

Hello, all you life drawing tutors and artists out there To those of you who already belong to the Register of Artists' Models , a big thank you. Our models appreciate all the work you put their way. To all artists, please note that the website is very largely driven by how many ads are appearing. So, the more ads that go up, the more models join, thus giving you more choice of life models. It would help us greatly if, as well as contacting models directly, you could put up an ad whenever you are looking for a model. It's free! And you don't have to belong to RAM to advertise, although this is under review. Use this link to put up ads.

Just a thought from Sarah King ( RAM model). I enjoy being able to pick up artists tips on how to draw 'me'!!!!! Learning whilst earning!

What can I say .  Watch out for   a;draughts , b; tutors who are easily confused and forget to book you or forget they have booked you, c;students who expect to see only female models ,  d;easels can be very dangerous if placed too close  and finally heaters that switch themselves off when they think the room is warm enough! Love & Laughter Philip Herbert x (RAM model )
