Our Story

We are a BIPOC collective that focuses on inclusivity and diversity, and we try our best to reflect this in the roster of models we work with.  We have worked with all kinds of models, from BIPOC models, models with disabilities, acrobats, LGBTQ+ models, night performers, plus many more.

We are a group of artists who met back in 2012 at a regular life drawing class in East London, before starting our own in 2017, launching at a pub called The Macbeth hence our Shakespeare inspired name.

Fast forward to a post-Covid world, our life drawing class has found a home online after the pandemic struck, we’re now running several classes a week to serve hundreds of artists around the world stretching from continents as far as Australia, Asia and Southern America. It has provided a safe, affordable and accessible creative outlet for artists all around the world. We have been touted as a stable source of good mental health upkeep by many of our artists.

Our aim is to provide a fresh take on what life drawing can be, so that our artists can switch off from the world for a couple of hours, practise their drawing, and socialise within an informal environment (we play the best tunes!).

Come join our next session and tap into an international network of talented, friendly and open artists, we’d love to have you along!
