What could be more fun than taking on the mantle of a nineteenth century naturalist? You will be an explorer in the Irish wilderness (in the comfort of the Natural History Museum in Dublin), learning techniques in depicting elements of animals from fur to feathers, scales to skeletons, in your journal, together with your observations. Coloured pencils, letter stamps, ink and watercolour will all be used.
