In this beginner-level workshop, artist Jason Penfold invites newcomers into the world of entomology and introduces skilled attendees to a new art form.
In this hands-on workshop, you will work with a curated selection of blue morpho butterflies, picked for their beauty, rarity and endless allure. Jason will guide you through each step as he shares his knowledge of sculpture-making and correct handling methods, ensuring the delicacy of each specimen is both preserved and artfully displayed.
All specimens are pinned and positioned prior to the class and no additional skills are needed, making this a captivating and rewarding class for all attendees, regardless of knowledge and skill level.
You will leave the class with an introduction to both entomology and sculpture-making, alongside your museum-standard Victorian-style dome, allowing you to showcase the beauty of these winged wonders in your personal collection.

Jason Penfold grew up in country Australia, where his love for natural history began to grow. Surrounded by plants, animals and stones, his imagination and strong connection to nature has always been a passion.
Jason's love for stones and minerals was nurtured through a family passion for Lapidary, which goes back two generations. Guided by his grandma, he has fond memories of foraging for semi precious stones in his hometown of country New South Wales.
In 2012, Jason began teaching himself how to preserve and pin various butterflies, moths and arachnids. A continued, self-driven education in entomology has lead Jason to work with museums across Australia and the USA, as well as private collectors, on various projects and additions.
Now living in Melbourne, Australia, Jason's art practise marries his love of Lapidary and Entomology into small scale sculptures enveloped in rich symbolism and archetypal meaning.
Having previously taught Entomology in Australia and internationally, Jason now brings his own series of Entomology workshops to the public, spreading the great wonder and happiness that working so closely with nature brings.
