Death's Head Moth Pinning Class

All NYC classes are held Grace and Grit Flowers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY 11222

 

 •In this class, students will learn to pin and mount their own Death’s Head Moth. These moths are easily distinguishable by the human skull-shaped pattern of markings on the thorax. Class cost includes the moth, entomology spreading board, entomology pins, pinning tape, and a riker mount frame, ready to hang on the wall. Each student will leave the class with their own finished moth with frame. There is no photography, video, or audio recording allowed during class, but taking photos of your finished work and the studio is permitted at the end of the class.
