Event Ticket Tarantula Spider Shadow Box Frame - Specimen Workshop

You can buy a shadow box. Or you can learn to fill one yourself, with something that used to have eight legs and its own opinions.

It's the kind of workshop that sorts people into two camps immediately, and if you clicked on this, you already know which camp you're in. The macabre and the beautiful have always been close neighbours, and the tradition of natural history display, pinned insects behind glass, careful preservation, sits comfortably in the dark aesthetic lineage that runs from Victorian curiosity cabinets straight through to the horror and alternative communities today. This is that, but you do it with your own hands.

Ticket price of $285 includes all materials, a real tarantula specimen, and your completed framed shadow box to take home. Suitable for adults and enthusiastic older teens. Workshop details and location provided on booking.
