• Our workshops are for all abilities - no drawing experience? No dramas! Sometimes starting from scratch is the most exciting place to be.
• We use a colour coded system for you to indicate if you would like some drawing tips from your hosts, or simply to be left to it.
• Please arrive 5-10mins early to bag your seat and get settled before the session starts. If you'd like to arrive a little early to grab some tasty food and drink, The Thirsty Bird will be open from 5pm - check out their menu here.
• These sessions are for ages 16+
• If you have any particular accessibility needs, please drop us a message before the session so we can make sure accommodations arranged for the workshop.

Dog Drawing Room is a monthly Dog Life Drawing workshop hosted by award winning pet care company The Wild Bear Club, and Contemporary Pet Portrait Pro, Amy Balch. Together, we're building community through art with the help of our four-legged friends. All abilities are welcome at our workshops! Do you want to come & draw dogs with us?

The Thirsty Bird has plenty of food and drink options available. Doors will be open from 5pm for you to arrive a little early and grab a bite to eat before the workshop begins. If you have any food during the class, we ask that you keep an eye out, so your food doesn't distract the dog models! Check out The Thirsty Bird menu here.

The Workshop will take place upstairs at The Thirsty Bird with a set of stairs to climb and the loo is on the ground floor. We will have more accessible venues for other dates. If you have any particular accessibility needs, please drop us a message before the session so we can make sure accommodations arranged for the workshop.
