Two little pigs from Amersham were London-bound this week to be the stars of a very unique life drawing class.

Bambi and Kingsley, who live at Kew Little Pigs in Old Amersham, attended headed to Westminster and took part in a special art class with Wildlife Drawing.

On the day, they sat in a pen in the middle of a circle of artists, who created their own depictions of the happy porkers.

And there was also a chance for the group to get up close and personal with the piggies, who all enjoyed a stroke and a cuddle from class members.

Olivia Mikhail, who runs Kew Little Pigs and attended the event with Bambi and Kingsley, said: "This is the third class we have taken part in with Wild Life Drawing, and Bambi and Kingsley absolutely love being the stars of the show.

"Some of the drawings were absolutely amazing too, some real talent was on display on the day. We love taking part in events like this as it really helps to dispel myths about pigs. They aren't a bacon sandwich, they are amazing intelligent creatures and when people meet them they really see that.

Olivia Mikhail, who runs Kew Little Pigs said some of the art was "amazing"

Artist Jennie Webster, who runs the Wild Life Drawing classes, said "It was another fab day with Kingsley and Bambi yesterday, everyone truly fell in love...

...They brought so much joy."
