Taxidermy is the art and science of preserving an animal's skin, sculpting an anatomical form and then mounting the skin over the top to recreate a lifelike appearance.

I work with mammals, birds and select reptiles.

Please place the animal in an air tight/sealed plastic zip lock bag and freeze it as soon as possible to prevent decomposition. There should be no paper, card, towelling, tissue or materials other than plastic with the animal when it is frozen as this can cause excess dehydration and potentially damage the skin. Please lie birds flat and fold their wings close to their body with their tail out as straight as possible.

Please click below to head to the current taxidermy and entomology workshops page where you will find the schedule of upcoming classes. If you have an idea for a specific workshop, would like private taxidermy tuition or would like to book a taxidermy or entomology group session or corporate taxidermy class please reach out by heading to the contact page.

Yes, we offer restoration services, including repairs, cleaning, repainting, and structural improvements for taxidermy restoration please reach out via the contact link explaining your requirements and sending through pictures of the piece you would like restored to help me assess and provide a quote.

Yes we can help restore your entomology specimens please reach out via the contact page with photos of the specimens and a description of the work you require.

No problem. In the instance that stock is unavailable we will source according to your requirements. All animals are ethically sourced and never killed for the purpose of the work. We work in compliance with CITIES and DEFRA laws, legal certification will be provided with all protected species.

I treat every specimen with the highest level of care and respect. All animals are ethically sourced, including road casualties, deceased pets and livestock, natural predation, responsible pest control, frozen feeder specimens, and animals from rescue centres.

Yes, a 50% non refundable deposit is required to secure your project, with the balance due upon completion.

Rush projects can be made possible depending on scope and availability please contact us as early as possible!

Absolutely. We welcome creative commissions, from stylised designs to conceptual or mixed-media work.

Thank you so much! Please begin by confirming that the specimen has been legally obtained and is in a viable condition for taxidermy i.e. without significant feather damage or signs of decomposition etc. I often repair specimens but only so much is feasible. Carefully package the specimen, wrapping well in plastic bags whilst removing as much air as possible. Smaller animals can be placed in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Clearly label the container or packaging with the relevant details you’ve recorded: what is is, the date it was found, where it was found, what you think might have happened and then transfer it to the freezer without delay. These details are essential especially if a licence needs to be obtained.
