Private small-animal taxidermy lessons
A private gathering can become a hands-on taxidermy lesson.
Fabrica Taxidermy / Rachel Rohwer
Rachel Rohwer offers private lessons alongside research-collection, small-bird and small-mammal taxidermy workshops. For a deliberately unconventional pre-wedding experience, the appeal is learning specimen preparation and preservation rather than taking a conventional craft class. Her practice also makes study skins and museum-style mounts.
