Scientific illustration is art fused with science. In this workshop, you will do more than just illustrate and will learn to observe and render subjects in a scientifically accurate way.

Join us for a fun event creating miniature naturescapes called "miniworlds" with The Terrorium Shop. 

The Terrorium Shop is Denver's home for unique art combined with natural history. They are most known for their miniworlds. Glass displays featuring real dried floral, insects, bones, crystals and other elements from the natural world, forever encased in a glass dome.

In this class each participant will get their very own 2.75 x 4  glass dome with cork base, choice of 1 pinned Colotis Regina butterfly or 1 Heliconius Doris butterfly, an assortment of dried botanicals, crystals and optional bones.
