Join us for a hands-on mouse taxidermy workshop designed for adults and mature teens interested in learning small mammal specimen preservation. Working step by step in a supportive studio environment, students will learn the fundamentals of taxidermy by mounting a mouse from start to finish, learning how to create a naturalistic result. Safety, cleanliness, and respect for the animals will be thoroughly addressed throughout the process.By the end of the workshop, each participant will leave with a completed mounted mouse and a foundational understanding of taxidermy techniques that can be applied to future projects.This class is taught by visiting artist-in-residence <a href="https://alchemyartcenter.com/2026-artistsinresidence" title="https://alchemyartcenter.com/2026-artistsinresidence" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Zoe Nielsen.</a> Zoe joins us for the month of May.
