Taxidermy Class: Raccoon Head Mount

Raccoon Head Mount Taxidermy Workshop with Rob at The Insect Asylum

Join us at The Insect Asylum for an immersive, all-day taxidermy workshop led by professional taxidermist Rob! From 11 AM to 8 PM, you’ll learn how to create a raccoon head mount, gaining hands-on experience in ethical taxidermy techniques, specimen preparation, and mounting.

All raccoon specimens are sustainably sourced, and Rob will guide you step-by-step through each stage of the process. You’ll leave the workshop with your finished head mount and the skills to tackle future taxidermy projects with confidence.

All tools and materials are included.

Note: This class involves working with real animal specimens in a respectful, scientific context. Recommended for adults or mature teens with an accompanying adult.

Your ticket also ensures general admission to the museum - Come learn, create, and explore the craft of taxidermy with us at The Insect Asylum!
