Full Body Jackalope/Rabbit Taxidermy Workshop with Katie of Afterlife Anatomy
Sunday, May 4 from 12-6PM.
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. Students will be taught how to carve their own forms. Students will learn how to make a custom body for their specimens using an old traditional taxidermy technique of wrapping a body or through carving foam. 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 are encouraged to bring in any props they may want to dress the animal up in. All specimens, materials and tools for the class will be provided by the instructor. Each student will leave with their own finished mount.
