Close to Nature School of Taxidermy

The Art of Taxidermy Made Easy

Close to Nature School of Taxidermy is a place for students to receive a well rounded education of taxidermy techniques so that students can walk out of the class feeling comfortable with beginning a taxidermy business or as a hobby. My goal is to allow my students the opportunity to have a strong foundation of understanding the anatomy of the animal to create the most life-like mounts. I am a life-long learner and continue to expand my knowledge of the current techniques mixed with the old techniques. Close to Nature School of Taxidermy will provide you with the opportunities to go beyond the basics that other schools may not provide such as: repairs, mount cleaning, keep your tools options, and ongoing support after the completion of the class. I will be a mentor to you once you leave the classroom and begin working on taxidermy from your home…my goal is to continue being a source of education and support.
