This listing is to reserve your spot in the butterfly and moth pinning class. You have the option to participate in either one or both days! Part one will teach you how to pin a butterfly or moth and part two will teach you how to mount one into a frame. Florals and fabrics will be available to add on for a flat fee of $10 on the day of the framing class if you want to create something more detailed versus a scientific frame.
Class fee includes two unspread butterflies that will be hydrated before class. If you want any of the butterflies or moths from the add on menu, add both your class fee option and then add the butterfly/moth to your cart from this listing.
The framing class will include an 8x10 frame. There is also an option to bring your own frame, but it must have at minimum a 1 inch space between the back of the frame and front of the glass. If you choose to do the framing class only, you must have participated in the previous pinning class I taught and still have your butterflies that we spread in that class!
A pinning kit is not included in the price, so make sure you are selecting the correct option if you need a kit! My kit includes a foam pinning board, a set of size 2 entomology pins, parchment paper, two unspread butterflies, and a pair of spade tip tweezers. If you are coming with a partner, you can share a set of pins from one kit and then add a foam board and pair of tweezers on to your order, if you want to save some money.
For part 2, you will need a hot glue gun or glue of your choice (other glue may take longer to cure). I will bring a few extra glue guns to use, but it will be faster if you provide your own from home. I personally only use Gorilla Glue hot glue! You can get this at Michael’s or Joann.
Afterpay and PayPal pay in 4 are available at checkout.
Price includes a 5% up charge to cover fees. If you would like to avoid this added fee, send me an email or DM through instagram to pay using Venmo or Cash App. I cannot accept Zelle anymore!
