Taxidermy, how do I get this job?
I am an artist, I deal with animals (anthropomorphic or not). I study their anatomy well. I believe this will help me to become a good taxidermist. I love fur, I own a lot of fur coat, animal tail key-chains, stuffed moose, deer head, boar heads, and a lot more. I have always had an interest and love for animals.
All that aside, what do you think could get me this job in the future. Note I am 15 and in grade 10 currently. My teacher told me I would need to take a collage course on it. Somehow I highly doubt this. ~thanks.
I would recommend to look if there is a fair sized natural history museum reasonably close to where you live. Most have a taxidermist. Go there and ask whether you can do an unpaid internship. Be tenacious, as long as they don’t say no outright you have a chance. You will learn something and you will see whether you like doing taxidermy. It does involve getting the skin off and usually also the meat off the bones – often from animals which are not in the best state of preservation (e.g. have worms starting to eat them). Some of the techniques are very smelly, to say the least. It is also not only about fur, you might be asked to prepare a skeleton of a 9 foot long snake for display.
If it really is something for you then you would best go to school for it. You probably also just attend a number of workshops, but it’s always good to have an official certificate. Besides you really also need to learn all the rules and regulations about which animals are legal to be owned and/or transported across state-lines. If you don’t know those you could get eventually into serious trouble.
