No matter the experience level, all are welcome!  Tickets and more info here - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/english-sparrow-skeleton-class-tickets-322707666317

Students will learn everything they need to create their very own bird skeleton display in a glass dome. Skeletons will be provided, and students will be able to pose them to their liking, and mount them onto bases. These bird skeletons have been cleaned using the oxidation process, which involves a series of chemical soaks, and manual cleaning, that leaves a delicate layer of ligaments intact. As this process requires a few days, and appropriate ventilation, the students will be working with skeletons that have already been cleaned, but will be given information on how to safely and effectively clean small bird skeletons on their own. Students will also create a naturalistic or fantasy habitat customized to their bird, and go home with a piece of osteological art that is ready to display.
