Get ready to spread your wings and learn the art of butterfly pinning in a fun and interactive workshop designed for kids ages 5-17.
About this Event

This workshop is geared towards youth interested in the art of insect pinning. Students will learn the art of butterfly pinning with expert techniques. With hands-on practice, students will learn how to delicately position their wings in a flat, museum quality position. Let's pin, preserve, and cherish the magic of butterflies together!

This is a small group session intended to give the utmost attention towards youth with up to 6 participants. All students must come with a parent or guardian to assist the student as needed. Parents and guardians can purchase an Guardian or Observer Ticket in the ticketing portal or at the front desk of the museum.

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]
