SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Intro to Moth Pinning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled. \nInstructor: Justin ToroneDate: Sunday\, April 10\, 2022 from 6-8:30pmCost: $35 for Del Ray Artisans members and $50 for non-members\, plus a $25 supply feeClass size: 10-14 participants(Register by midnight on April 1) \nLearn the art of insect pinning! This is a hands-on class by Rest in Pieces owner Justin Torone. Learn how to rehydrate\, spread\, and pin your very own Day Flying Moth (Alcides orontes). This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge on this meticulous craft. \nAll necessary supplies will be provided. You will leave at the end of the class with your own pinned specimen. Class end times are approximate. Specimens will require a drying period prior to mounting them either in the frame provided by us\, or the vessel of your choosing. Instructions on finishing your specimen will be given at the end of the class and in a take home sheet. \nParticipants may bring collage materials if desired for their backgrounds. From 6-6:30pm participants may prepare a collage background for their moths. This self-directed time is optional. The insect pinning instruction begins at 6:30pm. \nAges 16+ or 12+ accompanied by an adult. Face masks and proof of vaccination are required for this workshop and will be reviewed by the instructor. \nRegister Now \nNOTE FROM THE INSTRUCTOR: Our insects are farm raised. In order to maintain populations\, females are brought in from the wild to lay their eggs inside a lofty enclosed habitat. This process keeps her and her babies safe from disease\, parasites and predators. A female butterfly is able to lay thousands of eggs and the chance of survival dramatically increases by giving them a safe space to do so! Once they reach adulthood\, most of them are released back into the wild to supplement the native populations. When the time comes and the insect passes\, most will be used to further DNA\, evolution\, mutation and disease studies. The others will be sold to museums\, universities and stores like us. The money generated from these specimens help keep the operations running\, so you can feel good about your purchase! \n \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
