Wet Specimen Workshop

Choose your favorite from our stunning collection of preserved animals then dive into the hands-on world of wet specimen preservation! This immersive workshop will guide you through each step of creating your own wet specimen—from preparation and posing to sealing it beautifully in a formalin jar. Reptiles we have to offer: iguanas, monitors, snakes - first come first serve!

💀 All materials provided🧪 Learn the full preservation process🎓 No experience necessary

Whether you're a curious beginner or a science/art enthusiast, you'll walk away with new skills and a jarred creation that's both educational and beautifully eerie.

Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, the adult must get an observer ticket if they do not participate. If you are unable to make it please keep in mind that there are no returns but we are happy to exchange your ticket for a different TIA event if given notice in advance.

Accessibility Note: Classes are held in our basement space, which is currently not wheelchair accessible. However, we’re happy to assist—please email [email protected] for help with accommodations.

Please let us know at least 24 hours in advance if you're unable to attend and we can exchange your ticket for a diffferent date. No refunds.
