Students must provide specimens to work on. You may ship your specimens to us prior to your arrival. Classes include a section on crating your mounts for shipping back home.
Students need to provide some materials such as maniquins, eyes, and other parts necessary. For example, if you plan to mount a mallard duck you would need the body,
the head, and the eyes. We can help you obtain the correct parts.
Classes are held from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm with a one hour break for lunch.
