This class will introduce students to basic small mammal taxidermy. Each student is provided with their own specimen which have been prepped and tanned. They will have to final prep, mount, and groom. We will go through the process of preparing our forms, building up with clay, and final assembly. Everything is supplied and students do not need any prior experience for this class. Each student will leave with their own finished piece.
Please note: Class will take place during the World of Wonder Exposition. Students of the taxidermy class will receive FREE Entry to the Exposition for Saturday only. The Exposition opens at 11am, we welcome students to come early to shop and experience the market.
