3: Beginner/intermediate friendly Taxidermy Course with Ted Befus and Chantelle Theriault

This comprehensive course encompasses the entire taxidermy process, ranging from skinning to mounting and second day work on your personal deer.

You require your own unskinned frozen deer for this course. We will skin and salt the original cape and use a replacement cape to mount your deer.

Upon completion of the course, each participant will retain their personally mounted deer, accompanied by a detailed instructional booklet outlining the step-by-step procedures covered throughout the program. Additionally, participants will receive guidance on essential tools for taxidermy, including information on local and specialized suppliers.

This course will be quite unique as we will cater to those with and without experience. So essentially it will be great for most levels of learning!

The tuition for this course is $3000 + GST, with a 25% non-refundable deposit required to secure enrollment. The remaining 75% of the fee is due the day prior to the commencement of the course.

This course is beginner or intermediate friendly. The deadline for entry is December 15, 2024

Dates:
January 27-31

We are a high quality taxidermy studio and school, based near Alberta Beach.
