Herbarium Pen Workshop

Event Overview

Hosted at the Yamanashi Prefectural Science Museum, the 'Herbarium Pen Workshop' is an interactive event where you can create your own original pen using 'herbarium' techniques to preserve the beauty of plants in liquid. Through a scientific process, you can experience the beauty of colors and botanical forms up close. Since the finished pen is a practical item you can use daily, it is popular among a wide range of participants, from children to adults.

Highlights & How to Enjoy

The biggest charm of this event is creating your very own 'one-of-a-kind pen.' Arranging colorful plants and materials inside clear oil feels like creating a piece of art. Because the expression changes depending on how you place the plants, it is a highly creative experience. This is a unique opportunity to understand the characteristics of materials while preserving their beauty within a scientific museum environment.
