Join us for an Insect Pinning Workshop at Fleur! Students will learn the process of rehydrating and pinning their specimen to prepare it for display. We will discuss the specific insect you are pinning before the instructor guides you step by step on how to place steel pins and glassine paper to stabilize the specimen in a desired position. The insect is left to dry for several days and can then be mounted for display in a shadow frame. Students will leave with a basic understanding of how to create their own future displays as well as a full beginner entomology pinning kit.
