PRIVATE EVENTS

I offer private, single-day entomology workshops at my studio in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood for students of any age or skill level. Think child and adult birthday parties, team building, bachelorette parties, etc! I can host 6-24 students at a time for private parties at $90 per person and have a large selection of specimens such as butterflies, beetles, moths, and cicadas available. Each participant leaves with their own specimen. Inquire for availability.

I am also available to travel for private events, as well as workshops at your school, museum, or business.
