Lingerie Taxidermy Nights at Trundle Manor!

Sign up soon for a taxidermy class at Trundle Manor, located at 7724 Juniata St. in Pittsburgh, PA. You have a choice between 12pm noon on Saturday, March 22nd or Sunday, March 23rd, 2014. Classes will run approximately three to four hours. We will be creating wall-mounted plaques. See the listing photos for an example!

The fee is $200 per student. If you want to participate in the class but don't have that much money in your pocket at this exact moment, you may make a $50 down payment to reserve your spot with this listing: http://detroittaxidermy.bigcartel.com/product/downpayment

I recommend signing up or making a deposit ASAP. There are always two scenarios, either the class sells out OR everyone waits until the last minute and then the class gets cancelled due to low enrollment. Either way, no bueno if you miss out!

We will supply everything you need to learn how to taxidermy an ethically-obtained rabbit from start to finish and take it home with you when you are done. What does "ethically sourced" even mean? It means NONE of the animals used in class or in my personal work are killed just for taxidermy or fun. The skin will be used in class. Students are welcome to take home the carcasses and process for bones, preserve the heart, etc. and if they choose not to do so, the carcasses are shipped to various students of mine that use the meat to feed their pets and the bones to fertilize their gardens. Bottom line, nothing goes to waste.

Guinea pigs are available by request. Please email me if you would like to mount a guinea pig instead of a rabbit. It does NOT cost anything extra to make this request.

Your fee is inclusive of all supplies and costs. Please make sure you choose the correct day you want to take the class. If this class is being purchased as a gift, please email correct contact information to the recipient in case I need to reach them. My email address is mickey@detroittaxidermy.com

Guess what? YOU CAN DECORATE YOUR RABBITS! Bring a little hat, or tiny antlers, or whatever you want! The only thing I ask is that you please do not bring any dead animals to the class without consulting us first. If you have questions, please consulthttp://www.detroittaxidermy.com/FAQ or contact me.

This Facebook RSVP is optional and just for fun! Your RSVP on Facebook doesn't count as a sign-up and you still have to pay - just an FYI!
