ANTHROPOMORPHIC AND NATURALIST TAXIDERMY WORKSHOPS
At A Field Guide, we provide quality taxidermy classes in London from £45. At the forefront of our sector, our books, workshops and kits have featured heavily in the national and international press. Please visit our press page to read more.
In these classes you will be introduced to the processes and techniques behind basic taxidermy. You will learn how to skin, prep, preserve, mount and position your animal. You can choose to mount it realistically or anthropomorphically (ie wearing clothes) and at the end of the day you can take your stuffed creation home to occupy pride of place on your mantelpiece.
Our classes are also on Airbnb experiences and Funzing. Please check out these pages to read some nice reviews and personal recommendations on what to expect from one of our classes. The dates for all workshops are listed below.

COVID-19 UPDATE - Classes are now up and running and Covid secure. All classes are now limited to 2 individuals or 2 groups of people from shared households. PPE in the form of masks and facial shields will be provided. Please note that lunch will also no longer be included until we feel it is safe to do so.
GUIDANCE NOTES:
*All rodents, insects and birds are ethically sourced and were not killed specifically for these workshops. Rodents were bred as feeder animals for snakes and lizards. Not only would they be discarded if they weren’t sold but the reptiles who eat them wouldn’t be able to survive if the feeder rodents weren’t commercially available. Unlike us omnivores the majority of reptilian species don’t have the option of being vegetarian.
*Class sizes are kept small to ensure a quality mount is produced.
*NO dangerous chemicals will be used and all animals are disease free.
* Please be advised that this class is not for the faint hearted. There will be minimal blood and gore, but taxidermy is not for everyone.
* Please do not bring any dead animals with you to the class.
