What taxidermy school should I go to?

academy of wildlife art in duncansville PA.i had Jason as an instructor and is top notch as is gary bruch

 

Why limit it to one school?

Get the best of the best, even if it means paying more and spliting it up over a couple years. You could even look at doing something like going to two different teachers for the samething and learn even more.

Learn as much as you can by reading, videos, & hands on practice. Join an association & learn even more. THEN...go for one on one training with experts in a particular field, like Yox for deer Krane for fish etc. I have hired a guy who went to a big school & my monkey knows as much about taxidermy. The guy is no dummy either.

 

Killeminstrut, Check out the post New England workshops. We are offering a great one day seminar on Whitetail deer and casting.
Come check us out and join the local taxidermy association.

wpst-taxidermy-school.com This is the school that I attended mark the owner will teach you in his two month course more than many school will try to in double or triple the time.
many of his students are doing really well in the industry. He is very patient with his students and is very talented. Any questions regarding the school let me know. You won't regret it Good Luck

 

If you are willing to go to Wisconsin you should really go to American Institute of Taxidermy. I went there and was very pleased. I enjoyed my classes very much. They also have online classes if you do not want to travel. If you are interested the website for the school is www.americantaxidermy.com.

Hands down ...... WPST in PA. Give Mark a call and visit the school if you can. Very good school, Excellent instruction. I am a graduate of this school so I know it is very good. The door is always open for you after class is complete also.

Thanks, Lance!

 

what ever school you decide research it and get some ref...in my opinion john griffith is one of the best look him up very good at making sure you know why and how to do things the right way ,is eye for perfection is 2nd to none..and i will reassure you .you wont leave there disappointed or feeling like you got ripped off ..one on one training ..good luck

 

I don't think they are listening Joey. :

 

Its just that way sometimes ;D

 

I must agree with Tre, I've also been to John Griffith. john is an excellent instructor and has awesome teaching abilities. John is a great Taxidermist but more than that John is a great man. Can't be steered wrong going to see him and having him teach you about Taxidermy.

Lance!

 

If you can find a taxidermist that is will to take you as a apprentice then I would say do that as you will learn more that way then you would in any school.

 

Buy 'em books and buy 'em books... 3 years later they still rip out the pages.
