Nanopod: Hybrid Studio is excited to announce
Wilder Duncan’s Bat Skeleton Articulation workshops!
This special workshop includes all materials; a beautiful, museum quality display dome for each student, along with their bat skeletons and other supplies listed below.
Bat Skeleton Articulation Workshops
Date: Thursday, August 25th
Time: 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm
Cost: $270
Seating is limited, reserve your spot today.
In this class, students will learn how to create an osteological preparation of a bat in the fashion of 19th century zoological displays. A cleaned bat skeleton (Pipistrellus abramus), a glass dome, branches, glue, tools, and all necessary materials will be provided for each student, but one should feel welcome to bring small feathers, stones, dried flowers, dead insects, natural elements, or any other materials s/he might wish to include in his/her composition. Students will leave the class with a visually striking, fully articulated, “lifelike” bat skeleton posed in a 10″ tall glass dome. The class will focus on teaching ancient methods of specimen preparation that link science with art: students will create compositions involving natural elements and, according to their taste, will compose a traditional Victorian environment or a modern display.
Reserve your seat soon.
