Welcome to a realm where art meets curiosity,our Taxidermy School awaits! Whether you're fascinated by the craft or just seeking an unusual pastime, these workshops are all the rage and sell out quickly. Each session offers a comprehensive introduction to the intricate techniques of skinning, preserving, and beautifully mounting rodents, turning them into stunning pieces of art.
Our London-based courses delve into two main styles: traditional naturalist taxidermy, which presents animals in lifelike poses and settings, and the playful world of anthropomorphism, which invites creativity by showcasing animals in whimsical scenarios. Picture a mouse on a motorbike or guinea pigs jamming on saxophones,your imagination sets the limit!
While it might not be for everyone, the enthusiasm surrounding these beginner classes is undeniable. We offer three levels of workshops,Bronze, Silver, and Gold,catering to different complexities and lengths depending on your animal choice. The Bronze session, focusing on mouse taxidermy, is particularly popular, but if you're feeling adventurous, why not take on a winged rat or a quirky two-headed critter in our Silver class? For the more ambitious, our Gold session lets you stuff squirrels or rabbits!
Rest assured, all materials and ethically sourced specimens are provided, so you can focus on the art without worrying about dangerous chemicals. Just prepare to roll up your sleeves and immerse yourself in the craft! Led by a specialist from the Guild of Taxidermists, our workshops are held in trendy East London venues.
At the end of the experience, you’ll have a delightful creation to take home,a charming talking point like a mouse reading music or a dapper squirrel in a top hat! Unlike typical gift experiences, our taxidermy classes offer an offbeat yet highly enjoyable dive into Victorian craft, attracting enthusiastic newcomers eager to get started!
