Wild Life Drawing: Rescue Reptiles

Have you ever tickled the chin of a bearded dragon? Had your heart ignited by an iguana? Join us in January to discover a whole new side of this often misunderstood species group. Let us introduce you to some gorgeous rescued and rehomed reptiles- snakes, lizards, and tortoises- who are living proof that while reptiles may be cold-blooded, they are definitely not cold-hearted.

We will be joined by Tom from Tom’s Talking Reptiles, who will teach us about each of our ‘models’ amazing anatomy, aspects of which include the ability to 'grow a beard', the mysterious third eye of the iguana and the super senses of the snake. He will also discuss his rescue work, responsible pet ownership and the realities of living with reptiles. 

The class will be lead by artist and wildlife enthusiast Jennie Webber, who will get you started with a drawing demo and her top tips for drawing a moving subject. Throughout the session, Jennie will be on hand with as much creative guidance as you would like. We will provide paper and drawing boards, as well as an array of colourful materials for you to enjoy, but do bring along any of your own favourite tools if you’d like to. The class is open to all, from beginners to advanced. Even if you haven’t picked up a pencil in years, we will have you sketching away in no time! Our goal is for you to leave with not only some lovely drawings, but also a greater understanding and appreciation of the animals you’ve drawn. 

Here at Wild Life Drawing, we are a small team who are dedicated to animal welfare. We only ever work with the finest animal handlers, who treat their animals with care and respect, and healthy animals who are happy being around humans. 

10% of profits will be donated to Happy Endings Rescue, a small charity that offers refuge to neglected or abused animals in the Kent area. 

Please note: Tickets are non-refundable and cannot be moved to another class, but can be transferred to another name- just get in touch to let us know who will be attending. We do sometimes have waiting lists for sessions, so if the class you have tickets for is sold out and you can’t make it, please email info@wildlifedrawing.co.uk with as much notice as possible, and we will try our best to re-allocate your tickets. If we are able to do so, you will be given a credit for another class. Children over the age of 5 are welcome to attend, provided they are accompanied by an adult who is also taking part in the class.
