Come and draw your own royal bestiary!

Many of the royal vessels and ships in Royal Museums Greenwich's collection are embellished with golden carvings of heraldic beasts and mythical creatures.

Join artist Nicole Mollett, practitioner in residence at Royal Museums Greenwich, to draw your own decadent beast inspired by the collection, which can also be turned into an animated paper puppet using brass spilt pins.

These free drop-in sessions are suitable for all ages and abilities. The sessions will take place in the RE:THINK space, on the ground floor of the National Maritime Museum.
