About the experience
Product ID: 11769
These London-based taxidermy courses provide a fascinating fusion of traditional naturalist taxidermy and the Victorian art of anthropomorphism. The workshops are divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold categories, and they vary in length depending on the complexity of the animal chosen. It's interesting to note that mouse taxidermy is the most popular course in the Bronze category. The workshops are taught by a qualified expert from the Guild of Taxidermists, and they take place at different venues in East London. At the end of the workshop, participants are allowed to take home their creations, which is a great way to commemorate their experience.

The course was great and I learnt a lot. Suzette is very knowledgeable and a good teacher. I do think that the day was slightly over subscribed as it took longer than the allotted time, despite there being some waiting to move on to the next section, but I still had a great experience.

This is a really good class The teacher is very clear in each stage of the taxidermy process which then made it easy to follow. He is super talented, patient helpful. Plus he leant me some glasses as I had forgotten mine 0 The food is excellent I cant wait to take the class again. Thank you all who made the day. Would highly recommend for any one wishing to learn the art of taxidermy.
