Workshop: The Metamorphosis of the Silkworm

Måla, klipp, klistra de olika stadierna från ägg till silkeslarv, till puppa till fjäril. Vi skapar ett gemensamt collage i stort format!

We use papers, scissors, crayons and glue to create a paper collage of the metamorphosis of the silk worm.
For 30 days, the silk worm Bombyx mori grows from two mm to approximately ninety, eating leaves from mulberry trees only. When fully grown and ready, it starts to spin its cocoon of silk. Inside the cocoon, the worm transforms into a butterfly, which eventually hatch from the cocoon, to mate and produce new eggs.

The workshop is held in connection to the Morus Silk Symposium and exhibition in Super Ö.

All ages warmly welcome!
