The Spiders and Scorpions class gives you a chance to work with two spiders and two scorpions of varying size and species. Through clear demonstrations and group tuitions, you’ll be taught how to handle entomology equipment to expertly pose and pin your specimens.
You’ll be taught 3D silicon injection, an innovative method created by Jason and used within his own art practice, to create lifelike, sculptural specimens to a museum standard. All methods are taught so that they’re easily replicated at home, ensuring your entomology journey continues well after the class.
You'll discover the fascinating anatomy that sets arachnids apart from other invertebrates while observing Jason’s live Flinders Ranges Scorpion, named Seymour. Used as a live reference, alongside meticulous teaching, Seymour will help inspire you to bring your creations to life.
Violet Eyes Entomology has an ongoing commitment to ensuring practices are ecological. All classes use sustainable and renewable resources wherever possible and Jason is committed to passing on these practices to you. To support the local community, 10% of all proceeds go towards supporting young artists develop their own art practices.
Everything from tool to specimen is provided and no prior experience is needed to attend. This class is a catered event that will provide a home-cooked lunch, with dishes revolving around fresh, seasonal produce.
 
Each Violet Eyes Entomology class gives students exclusive access to Jason’s curated store, filled with natural history, entomology tools and a range of unique specimens. This selection aims to provide students with something unique so that students can start their own self-made museum.
