About this Event

Animal Paw Cloche Workshop
Create a dome display using real, sustainably sourced mummified paws

In this hands-on workshop, participants will create their own cloche display featuring real mummified raccoon or squirrel paws, thoughtfully arranged with natural materials to honor these creatures in a respectful, artful way.

This guided workshop blends education, craft, and curiosity. You’ll learn about preservation while assembling a one-of-a-kind piece to take home.

$150 glass cloche
$135 plastic cloche

(plus taxes and fees)

What you’ll experience:

  • Hands-on creation of a glass or acrylic cloche display
  • Use of real mummified animal paws
  • Guidance on composition, care, and long-term display
  • Context on memorial art
  • All materials included

Important notes:

  • This workshop uses real preserved animal parts and may not be suitable for everyone
  • Participants must be comfortable working with mummified specimens
  • Minors must be accompanied by an adult guardian

Accessiblity note: please be aware that our classroom spaces are not wheelchair access at this time. We are happy to accomodate with an accessible classroom space on a case by case basis. Please email us with accessiblity needs before the class at [email protected]

No prior art experience is needed—just an open mind and appreciation for the strange and beautiful.

Spots are limited due to materials. Join us for an evening of hands-on learning, reverence, and creative exploration.
