Overview
Why buy from us?
Discover the art of butterfly setting and preserving with expert taxidermist and artist Suzette Field. Join her one-day workshops at her studio in Crouch End and learn how to display butterflies on a spreading board. In the past, butterfly collecting was a popular pastime, with collectors proudly displaying their specimens in beautiful mahogany cabinets. Today, this delicate art has fallen out of favour, but it's time to revive it with a modern, artistic twist. In Suzette's workshops, you'll learn how to responsibly source insects and animals and create stunning displays that showcase the beauty of butterflies. Not only will you learn a new skill, but you'll also be part of a rare and fascinating tradition. You can legally collect butterflies as long as you have permission from the landowner and they are not on the list of rare species. With Suzette's guidance, you'll learn how to create a collection of your own and bring the beauty of the natural world into your home. Join Suzette and embrace the art of butterfly setting and preserving. Sign up for her workshops today and discover the joy of this timeless pastime.
