Witch Mouse Taxidermy Class

In this one day taxidermy class, you'll be learning how to skin, prep, and mount a life-size standing mouse. We'll be going over all of the details so that you learn the skills you need to start basic taxidermy. This is a great gateway into the world of this unique art form!

Pricing: $225 ticket fee / if you wish to sign up with a $100 deposit please use coupon code "$100 deposit mouse" - the remaining balance of $125 will be due at the day of class. We accept cash, check, cards, Venmo, and Paypal at the day of the class for the balance due. 

Who: Working alongside licensed taxidermist Nicole Baldelli. She is the owner of the businesses Nikki Deerest Novelty Taxidermy and Lone Fox Taxidermy. She has over 7 years of taxidermy experience and a wide range of background with art and animals.

Details: This class is 18+ as we will be working with sharp objects. We do allow responsible young adults ages 13-17 with a signed parental consent form, signed at the class when dropping off. If you are planning to attend with another student, please send me an email to let me know so I can ensure you get to sit together!

Parking: There are multiple parking lots available near Hive & Forge. Please be mindful that at different times of year Salem gets very busy! Especially in the fall months and even in the summer as well. There is a lot next to Hive & Forge and a parking garage close by. Parking is not free at most of the locations. 

What's included: All basic supplies needed to complete your taxidermy piece. I will have little handmade witch hats for all of the students and little wooden plaques to stand them on. You are welcome to bring anything else you'd like to display with them! I will also have a box of props if you would rather not make your mouse into a witch. Hobby Lobby has a great section of miniatures that fit mice perfectly!

***No animals used for my classes are harmed for the purpose of taxidermy. I work with breeders, friends, pest control, and fellow good Samaritans to source animals that have either died naturally or are a result of the farming/meat industry, and pests. All remains are used and nothing goes to waste.
