Attendees are required to bring a photo of their pet, either printed or on their phone. It is recommended to wear clothing that can get dirty or bring a smock or apron, as acryla-gouache is permanent.

This workshop is also perfect for adults who want to rediscover their passion for painting or try their hand at a creative activity.
