Have you ever wanted to pet a hedgehog, play hide and seek with a turtle, or come face to face with a live alligator? These are just a few of the animal ambassadors the Jacksonville Zoo has shared with the library in the past. Who will you meet this time? Young scientists will get a close-up view of a selection.

This is an ongoing class that meets every Friday for all artists levels. The class will focus on pastels, materials and techniques.

Students will work from a live model and still life setups on a rotating basis using various types of soft pastels and supports. Check our website for the recommended supply list.
