Have you ever sat down for dinner with an artist you’ve never met before, got to know them over a glass of wine, then plucked up the courage to model for them?

On Saturday 11 February in Forest Gate I will host an exclusive art supper club for 20 people.

It'll be an immersive event where guests eat and then pose for artists — allowing them to experience my Dinner & Drawing concept, where I invited people to model at my home.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
At the Dinner & Drawing immersive supper club, 10 artists will be paired with 10 models to enjoy a seasonal vegan feast. After eating, the artists will have 90 minutes to draw, paint or ink their muse.

WHERE DID THE IDEA COME FROM?
The supper club is inspired by my #dinneranddrawing project, where I invited strangers I met via Instagram to pose for me at my home in exchange for dinner and a drawing.

HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS?
Tickets are priced £45. You can get one here.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
You'll be given a welcome drink before being served a candle-lit seasonal Mediterranean feast prepared by a professional chef.

WHO ARE THE ARTISTS?
Ten amazingly talented artists from the east London life drawing scene have signed up. More information on the artists to come…

WHERE'S INKYLAYLA?
I'll be hosting the evening and making sure everyone is comfortable.

WHO WILL I BE PAIRED WITH?
When I invited people to my home for Dinner & Drawing, I was usually inviting a stranger to dinner. It was great! As such, artists will be randomly paired with models.

... DO I HAVE TO GET NAKED?
No. It’s totally up to you. Nobody will mind either way.

WHEN IS IT?
From 7pm on Saturday 11 February 2023.

WHERE IS IT?
Tracks, Arch 437, Cranmer Road, London E7 0JN.
