BugFest Workshop: Insect Watercolors — Anyone Can Paint a Bug!

Selected date

Saturday August 8

Selected time

12:30 PM  –  1:30 PM

Join us at the Natural History Museum of Utah for an exciting BugFest workshop!

In this hands-on watercolor workshop, participants will paint an idealized swallowtail butterfly using greens, blues, and dark line detail work. Heath Ogden, evolutionary biologist and watercolor artist, will walk attendees through the process step by step while sharing some of the biology behind one of the world's most recognizable insects.

This is just one of many activities happening on August 8-9 at BugFest — a two-day, insect-themed festival in Salt Lake City. Admission to BugFest is included with these workshop fees! No other ticket is required.

  • This workshop is open to all — adults and children 10+ are welcome! (Please note: this workshop requires patience and fine motor skills.)
  • Each participant must have their own workshop ticket, as one set of supplies will be provided per ticket holder.
  • Children 10 and under must be accompanied by a chaperone. If chaperones are not also participating in the workshop, they will NOT need to register for the workshop; however, chaperones will still be required to purchase a ticket to BugFest
