Draw an Osprey workshop at Osprey House

Next date: Sunday, 02 November 2025 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM

Join us for a creative day at Osprey House and learn how to draw one of Australia’s most iconic birds, the Osprey.

This hands-on workshop is all about bringing birds to life on paper. You’ll watch live demonstrations and try different sketching and illustration techniques. You don't need any previous drawing experience to take part! Whether you’re a birdwatcher, nature lover, scientist, or environmentalist, this is your chance to discover the art of bird illustration.

The workshop goes beyond drawing. You’ll head outside to watch Ospreys in their natural habitat along the boardwalks of Osprey House. Learn how to notice details, improve your bird identification skills, and translate what you see into sketches.

We recommend bringing: a hat, sunscreen, water bottle, lunch, snacks. All sketching materials are provided.
