In this one day taxidermy class, you'll be learning how to skin, prep, and mount a life-size standing mouse. We'll be going over all of the details so that you learn the skills you need to start basic taxidermy. This is a great gateway into the world of this unique art form!

Pricing: $225 ticket fee / if you wish to sign up with a $100 deposit please use coupon code "$100 deposit mouse" - the remaining balance of $125 will be due at the day of class. We accept cash, check, cards, and Paypal at the day of the class for the balance due.

SALEM DURING HALLOWEEN TIME (SEPTEMBER)

Please be aware that this year is the 400th anniversary celebration of Salem, MA. September will be very busy just like October will be. Please make sure to plan accordingly to ensure you are able to arrive at the class on time. Parking fills up early, there are also T stations that head into Salem very close to the location of Hive & Forge so that is another option for getting here.
