Time: 12pm - 7pm
Admission: $400
Location: Morbid Anatomy Museum, 424 Third Avenue, 11215 Brooklyn NY
This course will introduce students to fundamental small-medium mammal head mounts taxidermy techniques and procedures. Students will be working with grey fox skins and will be going through the steps to do a head mount; fleshing, turning, splitting, etc. Students will be working with tanned and prepped skin; there will be no skinning of the animals in class. We will discuss the importance of properly prepping skins and tanning. This is a great opportunity to learn the basic steps to small and larger mammal taxidermy. I will provide all specimens, materials, and tools for the class. Each student will leave with his or her own finished mount.
