It’s life drawing but not as you know it. Instead of human life models, animals come to ‘sit’ for us. Jennie will instruct you on the ins and outs of drawing animals from life and, as you get stuck in, you will learn all about the animals themselves, their habitat and their distinct characteristics. The animal’s welfare is of the highest priority and their handlers always come along too, making sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout the class.

Jennie Webber is a London-based illustrator, printmaker and animal lover. A portion of the profit always goes directly towards benefitting animals – whether that be a donation to the associated charity or to ensure our handlers are able to rehabilitate and rehome additional rescue animals. The classes are relaxed and friendly, and start with a series of fun drawing exercises to get the creative juices flowing. All drawing materials are provided, though you’re very welcome to bring along additional media if you fancy. The aim this session is to inspire appreciation and understanding for the natural world through creativity. All levels welcome, from experienced drawers to complete beginners. Tips, tricks and creative guidance will be offered throughout the class and all drawing materials are supplied.
