About this Event

Learn how to position, place pins and preserve a beetle of your choosing from our gorgeous collection! Let the experts dish the trade secrets to create a museum quality pinned specimen that can be replicated with many insects in the future.Our instructors will take you step by step, and answer all questions you have along the way. All materials are included.

You will be able to take your artfully pinned beetle home with you at the end of the class. If your class is scheduled towards the end of the day (between 6-8) we strongly encourage you to come early to enjoy your free admission to the museum, which comes with the ticket purchase.

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 for insect pinning on a case by case basis. Please email us with accessiblity needs before the class at [email protected]

Additional Note: Families are welcome! Children under 14 should be accompanied by an adult. If you or your child would like to simply watch the class without participating, we’d love to have you. You can easily grab guardian/observer tickets at the front desk or online through our ticket portal.
