Under the expert guidance of Teori Shannon, this intermediate two-day workshop focuses on the process of bird preservation.
While preserving their very own adult quail, participants will become skilled at both the artistic and the scientific sides of taxidermy.
Scientific techniques include skinning, de-fleshing, skin preserving and body making. The artistic side of this experience includes decorating the specimens with gems, pearls and chains to create a magical creature that is ultimately displayed under a dome.
All materials and equipment are supplied and are ethically sourced, where possible.
Your finished specimen is yours to take home at the end of the workshop. (We recommend you bring along a box or suitable container to transport your specimen home)
