Dying to Know - Wet Preservation
Description
The Rest in Pieces Team invites you to watch a Dying to Know - filmed demonstration of wet preservation.
Wet preservation has been around since the 1600s. The technique involves preserving biological samples in a liquid fixative before storing those fixed samples in a permanent solution for future reference.
Its discovery and development have been critical in the scientific world for data collection. Today - some 400 years later - wet preservation is experiencing a surge in popularity thanks to the recent rise of Vulture Culture. It is not uncommon to find wet specimens sitting upon the shelves of curiosity stores or in the homes of collectors.
Gavin Burland and Natalie Delaney-John will take you through the process of multi point injection, preservation, mounting and display of a piglet.
You will learn the techniques on how to complete this fascinating process at home, and will have the option to purchase the e-book or the book.
Once the session is complete you will be invited to join the Dying to know exclusive facebook page where you can add pictures of your creations and continue to pick our brains.
