Harvard Museum of Natural History

In–Person Workshop

Instructor: Rachel Mirus

Price: $50 members / $60 nonmembers

Bizarre and spectacular creatures hide in plain sight all around us because they are too small to see without magnification. In this class we will go on a micro-safari, hunting down these hidden microorganisms using microscopes and capturing them through observational drawing. After an orientation to the microscopes, Rachel Mirus will introduce some helpful and beginner-friendly drawing techniques for illustrating the tiny things that live in water and soil. Curious about something specific? Participants are welcome to bring their own samples!

Maximum class size is 12 attendees.
