Tick off your bucket list and experience something truly unforgettable.


Our Neon Naked Life Drawing class at this location is the only one where you can choose to pose as a glowing model or create vibrant artwork, all under UV lights.


Our monthly classes run from 8 PM to 10 PM, with Liverpool Street and Shoreditch Overground stations nearby.


How It Works


Modelling Tickets: Limited spots are available for each class. Designed for beginners.

Arrive one hour early ( 7 PM ) to be painted in UV-reactive body paint—paint yourself, bring a friend to assist, or let one of our professional artists do the job. During the session, you can decide whether to pose for every set, skip some to sketch, or simply soak in the creative vibe.


  • Drawing Tickets: ( 8 PM ) Capture the glowing energy of neon poses in this vibrant, UV-lit life drawing session, perfect for artists of all levels.


For Models


  • Arrival Time & Prep:Arrive 1 hour early for prep and instructions. Arrive at 7 PM for body painting and set-up. You'll have time to get painted before the class starts.
  • What to Bring: Choose your level of comfort with nudity. Bring neon accessories, underwear, or swimwear to suit your comfort level. A robe is recommended for between poses, and wear old clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.
  • Body Painting: You can be painted by our team, a friend, or paint yourself. The body paint will be applied in artistic patterns, avoiding splashes and mess. No areas of extreme nudity.
  • Class Role & Poses: You’ll be painted in UV-reactive designs and pose for the artists. Poses range from quick 30-second movements to longer, creative gestures (6–10 minutes). Feel free to sit out a set and sketch if you prefer.
  • Photography: Photos are not allowed during the session. Afterward, you can take photos in a designated area or work with a professional photographer during our glowing social hour.
  • Model Guidelines:Respectful behavior is required. Any inappropriate conduct will result in removal from the event with no refund. Be mindful of others' comfort and privacy.


For Artists


  • Arrival Time: Artists should arrive by 8 PM, ready to draw and explore their creativity.
  • Creative Guidance: No prior experience is needed! Throughout the session, you’ll receive guidance on techniques like continuous line drawing, pointillism, and expressive gestures to help you create unique and vibrant artwork.
  • Art Supplies: Materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own neon pastels, sketchbooks, or other tools to enhance your experience.
  • Session Details: The event runs from 8 PM to 10 PM, with a break halfway for you to relax and mingle with others.
  • Respect and Conduct: Please be respectful of others and the space. While talking is encouraged for a fun, social atmosphere, rude or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Drinks are available from the bar, but remember—no photos during the session. You may take photos of your drawings at the end of the class.
