June 27, 2019 – SCORPION MOUNTING WORKSHOP –
Single Ticket – $65
Better in pairs (2 tickets) – $100
This two hour workshop covers the techniques of preserving and mounting scorpions. Heterometrus laoticus to be exact. That\’s right, these guys are actually big enough to wire and stuff, (7 inches including tail) so we can classify this as a perfect marriage between Arthropod mounting and taxidermy. We will be using an epoxy resin clay for extra added resilience.
Each participant will go home with their very own scorp, what happens after that is between you and your maker – Framed mount, bell jar baby, the sky is the limit!
The specimen you receive has been made flexible and soft, additional dry specimens will be available for purchase, don\’t worry… we will cover all the things you need to know to get them ready for mounting in the comfort of your own home, or give a kit as a gift!
The Meddling with Nature crew will show you the ins and outs of preserving, mounting and displaying these pinchy pokey little critters. Meddlers big and small, armed with their new found knowledge, will enjoy this DIY opportunity to mount and take home your very own exotic specimen.
Because of the intensity of the project, we are limited to only 6 seats to ensure everyone gets our full attention.
