Winged Guinea Pig or Rat Taxidermy Class at Pandora's Box in Milford MA
This class will teach students the basics of small mammal taxidermy (using rats or guinea pigs) and incorporate rogue/gaff elements. Each student will be provided with a specimen and prepped bird parts. They will learn how to mix and match parts and how to secure pieces onto their mount. We will make armatures and learn how to carve their own head forms. Students encouraged to bring in any props they may want to dress the animal up in. Everything will be provided and each student will leave with his or her own finished mount. (Please let me know if you would prefer a rat. If rats are used student will be shown how to properly and safely remove the tail bones and meat completely.)
Katie Innamorato is a Taxidermist in Residence at the Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn NY. She is professionally trained in taxidermy; winning awards and ribbons every year at the Garden State Taxidermist Association competition and convention. She strives to teach proper, professional, traditional techniques to students all over the US and internationally. She is also a rogue taxidermist; being a member of the M.A.R.T. or Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists. As with all M.A.R.T. members she adheres to strict ethical guidelines when acquiring specimens. She uses roadkill, frozen feeders, scrap skins from other taxidermists and the garment industry, and donated skins to create her artworks; almost every part of the animal is utilized.
Her work has been featured on the hit Science and Discovery Channel TV show, "Oddities," and the spin off show, "Odd Folks Home." She has exhibited work at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles, CA, among other galleries and museums.
