Under the expert guidance of Teori Shannon, this workshop teaches the process of bird wing preservation.
Participants learn a variety of museum techniques — skinning and defleshing, creating muscles from hemp, and washing and preening feathers. Participants take their final specimens home with them.
This is a beginner workshop suitable for those over the age of eight. Children must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
Please note: All materials are ethically sourced, where possible. Borax and acetone will be used.
