Event Details

After many requests, here's another chance to meet and draw the rescue baby sloths from live video link with Jaguar Rescue animal sanctuary in Costa Rica on Thursday 18th March.

Jaguar Rescue is an animal rescue and rehabilitation centre based on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, a country known for it's unique wildlife and it's pioneering efforts in the battle against climate change. The centre specialises in caring for sloths, primates, big cats and all other mammals, birds and reptiles that are injured by traffic accidents or other animals, electrocuted by poorly insulated power lines or affected by the illegal trade in wildlife. Their main aim is to re-release the animals back into their natural habitat, and providing a forever home only to those that would not survive in the wild. We will be meeting and drawing their young sloths in the sloth nursery – with lots of blankets and enrichment toys, and apparently they like to all fall asleep in a ball. A ball of baby sloths!

The class will begin with an introduction from WLD founder and artist Jennie Webber, who will take you through the basics of drawing sloths from life. There will be a drawing demonstration of the shapes, proportions and anatomical features to identify and Jennie will be on hand to demo, feedback or dish out creative advice throughout the whole session. We will then switch screens to be introduced to the baby sloths, and we'll watch, draw and learn about their unusual evolutionary characteristics as well as the dangers that affect sloths in the wild.

The basic materials you need to take part are paper, a pencil, eraser and sharpener, but of course you are more than welcome to work in whatever materials you enjoy or have to hand. Please get in touch if you need advice on materials, we're happy to help! You will be emailed instructions and the Zoom link to join 48 hours before the event is due to start, or in good time if you booked your ticket closer to the event. If you have not received your email 24 hours before the class please check your junk mail or get in touch with Jennie on info@wildlifedrawing.co.uk

50% of each ticket sold will be donated to the Jaguar Rescue Centre.

What is the Handling Charge for?

For this service we charge a small Handling Fee to cover the debit/credit card processing fees, customer services, processing and distribution of tickets and our secure server costs. We always try to keep these costs to an absolute minimum. If you feel at any time that our prices are not fair or competitive we'd be happy to hear from you.

Delivery

If you have ordered physical paper tickets there is a further Delivery cost added to cover the delivery of your order through the Royal Mail network.

We always endeavour to keep these costs as low as possible to merely cover the costs of postage. We only charge you one Delivery cost per order so if there is a big group of you recommend purchasing larger amounts in one order.
