Mouse/Small Rat Taxidermy Class

All classes are held at Grace and Grit Flowers in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY 11222

 •In this taxidermy class, students will skin and mount their own mouse or small rat.  Each student will leave the class with their own finished taxidermy mount. Class cost includes all materials including specimen, an anatomically correct rat mannequin (approx 4 inches tall), glass eyes, a wood base, etc.  Class size is limited to 4 students per class for each student to receive maximum step-by-step attention from the instructor to obtain the best end results. Glass domes to protect your creation will be available for purchase at the class for an additional $50. A select amount of props will be provided free of charge by the instructor for those interested in anthropomorphizing their taxidermy (giving human characteristics/activities). Students are welcome to bring their own props. There is no photography, video, or audio recording allowed during class, but taking photos of your finished work and the studio space is permitted at the end of the class.
