Children's cat drawing workshop

About this event

Friday 7 August 2026 – 1pm to 4pm at the Shelter Join us for a fun-filled and heartwarming art workshop at the Cheltenham Animal Shelter, specially designed for creative kids who love animals! Our session begins with an exciting behind-the-scenes tour of the Shelter, where children will meet some of the wonderful animals currently waiting for their forever homes. Along the way, they’ll learn about the work the Shelter does and the importance of caring for animals in need. After the tour, we’ll gather for a relaxed and inspiring drawing demonstration. Children will be introduced to pastel pencils and shown how to capture the unique personality of a feline friend through simple techniques in shape, colour, and texture. Then it’s time for everyone to get creative! With guidance and encouragement, the children will all create their own colourful pastel portrait to take home – a perfect memento of a meaningful day. No previous drawing experience is needed – just a love of animals and a willingness to have fun!
