About this Event

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!

Accessibility note: Our current classroom spaces are not wheelchair accessible. However, we’re happy to arrange an accessible classroom setup for butterfly pinning on a case-by-case basis. Please email us at [email protected] with any accessibility needs prior to your class.

Additional note: Families are welcome! Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. If you or your child would prefer to observe rather than participate, we’d love to have you. Guardian/observer tickets are available online or at the front desk.

No refunds but we are happy to exchnage your ticket for a different available class, please notify us with at least 24 hours in advance.
