In this one day taxidermy class, you'll be learning how to skin, prep, and mount a life-size mouse.

I work with breeders, friends, and fellow good Samaritans to source animals that have either died naturally or are a result of the farming/meat industry. All remains are used and nothing goes to waste Please email [email protected] if you have any questions!
