Giant bird-eating tarantula taxidermy pinning class (August 23rd)

Giant bird-eating tarantula (Acanthoscurria ferina) taxidermy pinning class

2 hrs | $100

August 23rd | 5:30 PM

In this workshop, students will learn about the insect preservation process, tarantula anatomy, pose their very own specimen, and take it home on an EVA foam pinning board to dry. Class participants can choose to pose their tarantulas flat for framing, or in a dimensional “walking” pose. Additional entomology supplies and framing options available for purchase in-store after class, including insect specimens to practice with at home. 

Previous students are welcome to bring their own tools (pointed tweezers, pins, pinning board) to get a $20 fee reimbursement OR $20 voucher for entomology supplies/specimens after class.

*Tarantulas have been cleaned, meaning students will NOT be dissecting the abdomen.
