ENTOMOLOGY CLASSES

Jason Penfold has conceptualised, written and continues to run dynamic and innovatory Entomology classes in Melbourne - the first of their kind in Australia.

Jason’s fine art background informs his unique approach to teaching, whilst his international entomology training and experience ensures students leave the class with extensive skills in museum-quality specimen preservation.
