About Sketcherei



Barsketcher
Founder of Sketcherei
My name is Alexandra Ru, also known as Barsketcher. I live in Berlin for 9 years, originally from Moscow, Russia. My main job is designing digital products, but painting and drawing are my passion. I've been organizing lifedrawing sessions since 2018 and introduced the concept of Burlesque Lifedrawing in 2020, inviting some of the best performers in town to pose for Sketcherei.
From 2020 until June 2025, Burlesque Lifedrawing took place every Monday at our beloved bar Zum Starken August. With its recent closure, we're now exploring new venues:
📍 Al Hamra, Raumerstr. 16, Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg)
📍 Suspiria Bar, Bergmannstraße 104, Berlin (Kreuzberg)
