DIY Taxidermy Rat Workshop

Calling someone a "rat" is generally seen as a bad thing—but is it really? As the owner of several rats (yes, the guy writing this copy), I can tell you firsthand that rats are amazing, cute, and very clean animals. Sure, they get hit with the whole “Well, the Black Plague was their fault” thing, but we all know it was really the fleas. No experience? No problem. This class is perfect for anyone looking to dip their toes into the world of taxidermy. We’ll walk (scurry?) you through every step. You’ll leave with a newfound skill, a tiny new friend, and probably a weird story to tell at parties.

The instructor, Mr. Vassallo has over thirty-five years experience as a professional taxidermist and teacher. He has traveled Continental North America, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Europe and Africa studying, collecting and preserving wildlife.
