This class will introduce students to the process and techniques behind more advanced basic small mammal taxidermy. Students will learn how to skin, prep, preserve, mount, and position the animal. Attention will be focused on how to properly split, turn, and position rabbit ears. Basic armatures will be used and students will be taught how to carve their own head forms. Students will learn how to make a custom body for their specimens using an old traditional taxidermy technique of wrapping a body. Using the carcass for reference, students will learn how to build up and craft the bodies. We will discuss how to properly mold items for taxidermy use at home. Students encouraged to bring in any props they may want to dress the animal up in. All specimens, materials, and tools for the class are provided. Each student will leave with his or her own finished mount.
