It is now the sign of SCORPIO!
This 2 hour workshop covers the techniques of preserving and mounting scorpions. Heterometrus laoticus to be exact. That’s right, these puppies are actually big enough to wire and stuff, (7 inches including tail) so we can classify this as a perfect marriage between arthropod mounting and taxidermy. We will be using an epoxy resin clay for extra added resilience. Each participant will go home with their very own scorp, what happens after that is between you and your maker; framed mount, bell jar baby, the sky is the limit! The specimen you receive has been made flexible and soft, additional dry specimens will be available for purchase. If you like it, why not go home with a mounting kit for your friends and loved ones!
Sexy Butterfly Mounting 1.5 hours 4:00PM – 5:30PM (extra time allowed) 6 seats available
These delicate critters can seem like a daunting challenge for a first timer, but with a little knowledge and a guiding hand, you will be able to start collecting specimens and mounting them yourself! We will talk about several preservation methods and also different ways to present your flutterby. We will also have a few extra specimens for the “heavyhanded” if at first you don’t quite succeed. We will be using the beautifully iridescent Urania sunset moth.(I know, I said butterfly, but this is a species that is a
moth in name only. google it.)
