Octopus Wet Specimen Workshop

Dive into the strange and fascinating world of preservation at our Octopus Wet Specimen Workshop at The Velvet Coffin.

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of wet specimen preservation while working with a real octopus specimen. We’ll cover the history of specimen preservation, the science behind the process, and the techniques used to properly fix, position, and display your piece so it lasts for years to come. Whether you're drawn to natural curiosities, scientific oddities, or dark art displays, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to create your own striking specimen.

Each participant will leave with their own preserved octopus in a display jar, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring the craft at home.
