Get up close with amazing rescued animals and unleash your creativity in this fun, hands-on family drawing session.

Celebrate amazing rescued animals this summer with a fun, hands-on family drawing workshop.

Guided by artist and animal lover Jennie Webber, you'll learn how to draw animals from life through fun, accessible exercises, perfect for beginners and budding young artists alike.

Along the way, you'll discover the inspiring stories behind these rescued animals, learn about responsible pet ownership and conservation, and gain a greater appreciation for the natural world.
