Wild Life Drawing: Baby Owls

When we heard word from our bird team that they had some owl eggs getting ready to hatch, we jumped at the chance for an extra special, extra fluffy class with the babies! We’ve strategically scheduled the session in order to sketch the owlets at peak adorable level (in just a few weeks time!) as they grow incredibly fast, from hatching to full fledged in a mere 12 weeks. We will meet a medley of owl species at different stages of their development; all super fluffy and all super cute.

The class will be hosted by illustrator Laura Cuppage, who will have plenty of tips on how to sketch owls while having your pencil inspected by a curious fledgling. Our falconer Paul will teach us all about these fascinating creatures, and what it's really like parenting baby birds. Clue: it's mostly chaos. 

As always, all abilities are welcome and all artistic styles are celebrated. We’ll bring along everything you need to get drawing, but you’re welcome to bring your own kit if you’d like. 

Our falconer Paul will be lovingly transporting the babies to the session, drawing upon his many years of experience working with birds of prey to ensure it is a positive experience for the little ones. The donation for the class will be going to the Barn Owl Trust, to support the conservation of native owls.
