Jackalope Class in NYC

In this class, we will learn about the fascinating anatomy of mammals and traditional mammal taxidermy. This class is designed for beginners with an interest in taxidermy. No matter the experience level, all are welcome! Tickets and more info here - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rabbit-taxidermy-class-tickets-322791657537

Students will learn everything they need to create their very own rabbit taxidermy shoulder mount, from proper skinning, degreasing/washing, to sculpting, mounting, and finishing. Students will watch a skinning and fleshing demonstration, and proceed to work with professionally cleaned and tanned skins. This will allow the students to focus on the finer details of creating a finished piece, and practice specific mounting techniques, like carving, fitting, and modifying a form, sewing, assembly, and grooming. Since we will be working on shoulder mounts, the class will put extra focus on the facial features, including the ears and using earliners. We will discuss how to use reference and study anatomy practically for taxidermy.
