The Art of Pinning: Bugs & Butterflies with Josh Marland

Two-Session Workshop · Tuesdays, November 18 & 25 · 6–8 PM
Bull Thistle Creative · 53 North Ave, Owego

Discover the delicate art of butterfly and insect pinning in this two-part, hands-on workshop led by naturalist and local Owego creative, Josh Marland.
Over two evenings, you’ll learn how to prepare, relax, and mount your own butterfly or beetle specimen — gaining the confidence and technique to create beautiful, museum-style displays at home.

No experience is needed, and all materials are provided. You can bring your own specimen or choose one provided by Josh. Each participant will leave the second session with a finished, mounted piece ready to display or frame.

Two ways to join:
🪲 $75 — All materials + specimen included
🦋 $60 — Bring your own butterfly or beetle
(Upgrades available at class)

Ages 12+ welcome. Space is limited — registration covers both sessions.
