We invite you to join us for a class in raccoon taxidermy. All materials, including a professionally tanned raccoon skin, professional raccoon mannequin form, glass eyes, ear liners, etc., will be provided for each student to mount their own taxidermy raccoon learning the step by step process hands-on. Each student will leave class with their own completed taxidermy raccoon shoulder mount.
The class is approximately 4 hours long. There is no photography, video, or audio recording allowed during class, but taking photos of your finished work and the taxidermy studio is permitted when the class is over. Those who are 15 minutes or later to the class will not be able to join the class. There are no refunds for classes and no rescheduling for students who cancel, miss, or are too late to their class. There is a $50 rescheduling fee if you need to reschedule 48 hours or more before the class start time. See the “Reschedule a Class” option on our Class Sign Up page for more info. There are no exceptions to these policies. All classes are BYOB if you like. Students age 13 and up are welcome to join, however those under age 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian when arriving at the class. Parents, family members, etc who are not paid students are unable to remain in the studio during the class. No harsh or dangerous chemicals are used. No animals are killed for the sake of taxidermy. For more info please visit our FAQ page or feel free to email us through our contact page.

Private classes cost $100 more than purchasing a seat in a group class when they are offered on the site. Additional students can join a friend’s private class for the price of a group class. Please email us the friend’s name and private class date if you have signed up as an additional student. We are generally available for private lessons most anytime in Sussex, NJ, and on weekends: Sundays in Greenpoint Brooklyn, NY and Saturdays or Sundays in downtown Jersey City, NJ.
