This course will introduce students to fundamental small-medium mammal taxidermy techniques and procedures. Students will be working with tanned, raccoon, fox or coyote face skins and will be going through the steps to do a head mount; fleshing, turning and splitting lips, eyes and ears, etc. Students will be working with pretanned and lightly prepped skins; 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. Katie will provide all specimens, materials, and tools for the class. Each student will leave with his or her own finished mount. 6 people, two of each skins available.
