Wet Specimen Discount Day - create your very own small wet specimen for only $80! Choose your favorite piece from our stunning collection of preserved animals, then dive into the hands-on world of wet specimen preservation.
This immersive workshop will walk you through every step—from preparation and posing to beautifully sealing your specimen in a formalin jar.
💀 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.
