Beetle Pinning Workshop (March 2, 2025, 11:00AM)

Date: Sunday, March 2, 2025

Time: 11:00 AM

Location: 128 S Main St, New Hope, PA 18938

Duration: 1 hour

Join us for an hour-long workshop to learn how to pin, preserve, and frame your own beetles! 

At the end of the workshop, you will walk away with one framed beetle art piece, and two more beetles that you will be able to frame on your own once they're dry.

All specimens and materials are included in the class cost including: three beetles, an entomology spreading board, entomology pins, pinning tape, and a shadowbox frame for each student to work on and take home with them. Beetle species will vary depending on availability.

Interested? Please purchase here and make sure to include your name at checkout!

Would love to attend, but this date doesn't work for you? Let us know, and we may be able to accommodate!

**

No previous experience necessary. Families are welcome, but since we will be working with sharp pins and extremely delicate insects, this class is open to ages 13 and up. If you or your child would like to simply watch the class without participating, we’d love to have you. You can grab an observer ticket for $30 per person when you arrive.

Rest assured that no animals are ever harmed for classes or art in our shop. All of our beetles are raised in ethics-forward farms, where they live out their full lifespan and are collected after their natural death. These farms help preserve native populations, as well as provide employment to locals.
