Event Details

I am delighted to announce a very special Wild Life Drawing class in collaboration with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. We’ll be drawing five wonderful rescue dogs of all different sizes, breeds and colours and that have been successfully rehomed and have happy stories to tell. Blossom (our poster girl) the Whippet Cross, Kira the English Setter and Duchess the Staffy, as well as a few others, will be our models for the day. All the ticket profits will be donated to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home – a charity that aims to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help, caring for them until their owners or loving new homes can be found, no matter how long it takes.  A member of Battersea's fundraising team will be attending the class to give a short talk on the charity and all the invaluable work it does to care for over 7000 animals each year, plus ways in which we can get involved. 

The drawing class is open to all, from beginners to advanced. Children aged 8 and above are welcome if accompanied by an adult partaking in the class. All drawing materials are supplied, including paper and drawing boards, but please feel free to bring colours or any other specific media you might like to use. Drawing tips and guidance will be provided throughout the session, with an in-depth demonstration of how to draw animals from life at the beginning of the class. The aim of these drawing classes is to inspire a sense of appreciation and understanding for the animals and their conservation in the wider world.

Wild Life Drawing is working with the finest animal handlers, sanctuaries and organisations to put on these events. All the animals that attend the sessions are well used to humans and different environments and are always accompanied by experienced handlers, their welfare is our highest priority. For this class we are only drawing dogs that are happy around humans and comfortable around other dogs, with plenty of treats and toys to keep them occupied. Each dog will be accompanied by their owner at all times, who will be giving their time for free – hopefully in return for a few pet portraits. Big thanks to Blossom for being our poster girl.

Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferable to another name. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Jennie on: info@wildlifedrawing.co.uk
