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! 

Students will learn everything they need to create their very own mouse taxidermy mount, from proper skinning and 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. We will discuss how to use references and study anatomy practically for taxidermy. 

Students will go home with their custom-made creations, instructions for maintaining their pieces, and newfound or nourished love of taxidermy.
