Event Overview

Learn a new craft and enjoy some Fall refreshments! Cash bar will be open with specialty Fall drinks and snacks. 

Your instructor, Cassie Jones will walk everyone through the process of where to purchase naturally sourced butterfies and moths, how to rehydrate them, methods of home pinning and display options, and lastly will guide everyone through making their own decorative shadow frame piece! 

Because the process of start to finish usually takes multiple days your instructor will have butterflies at different stages of progression to show all steps in this short workshop. You will go home with a basic understanding of the pinning process start to finish.

Each person will have the chance to pin their own hydrated butterfly or moth in setup to dry. Guests can take their pinned buttrfly home with them to dry! Each person will then be supplied with a dried and set butterfly or moth to use in their shadow box frame. There will be extra supplies to add to your shadow boxes like specialty paper, ribbons, shells, feathers, findings, dried flowers and mosses etc and guests are encouraged to bring small items to add to their boxes. Be advised that the shadow box itself is sized to fit one butterfly and little else. 

By the end of this 3 hour workshop guests will go home with one pinned hydrated butterfly ready to dry, one finished decorative framed shadow box containing one butterfly, and the knowledge to pin and mount butterflies in the future.
