A unique opportunity to create art and learn from exciting and rarely seen specimens from The Hunterian, including skeletal and dissected specimens very rarely released for public view from the Museum stores!

These relaxed classes will give you the opportunity to see and draw some of the most amazing creatures on Earth up close and personal. MARVEL and DC Comics artist Gary Erskine will provide art tuition and science input will come from researcher Joanne Powers.

This unique life drawing event at The Hunterian is part of the Travellers' Tails project, a collaboration between Royal Museums Greenwich, The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, The Horniman, The Grant Museum of Zoology at UCL and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in Whitby.

No drawing experience necessary, sessions are open to all. You are welcome to attend one or all four sessions to enjoy drawing the selected exhibits on display.

Pencils and paper will be supplied. Just bring along your passion for drawing.

Ages: adult audience, but suitable for all ages. We suggest that any children shold be age 10+.

This practical drawing day will provide an opportunity to explore further some of the themes at the heart of The Hunterian’s exhibition The Kangaroo and the Moose (1 October 2015 – 21 February 2016, Hunterian Art Gallery. Admission free).

Please note the sessions will take place in the Hunterian Art Gallery, 82 Hillhead Street, G12 8QQ.
