An evening inspired by the natural history specimens in Animal, Vegetable, Mineral: Natural Splendors From the Chess Collection of Dr. George & Vivian Dean.

Cassandra Nichole, aka Lady Von Black, will discuss how to legally and ethically source specimens and how to turn insects and other small creatures into works of art. Using specimens and found objects from the Lady Von Black collection, learn how to preserve and display some of nature’s curiosities.

Participants will also receive information on how to continue the practice at home. Free admission for WCHOF members.
