mentorship and training
We are not currently offering any mentorship or training opportunities. Since we are a new studio, we are still spreading our wings and aren’t ready to take on any students. We are hoping to get an intensive training program up and running as soon as we expand to a large studio. Consider supporting our business through purchasing merch, taxidermy, subscribing to our Patreon - anything helps to get us moving towards a bigger space and learning programs!

*Federal law prohibits the take (including killing, capturing, selling, trading, and transport) of protected migratory bird species without prior authorization by the Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This may affect your desired species, lessons, importation into the state, or ability to sell/purchase different mounts. Please see more details about the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and the list of protected species.
**California laws may restrict desired species, lessons, importation into the state, or your ability to sell/purchase different mounts - please review California law before booking, or reach out with questions if you have concerns about different state laws that could potentially affect your lessons. Please see FGC 3039, FGC 2080, PC 653o, and PC 653p. If you have any questions, please reach out to me or your local Fish & Wildlife office for further clarification on possession, selling/purchasing, or miscellaneous use of animal parts for taxidermy purposes.
