Purpose and Objectives

Our purpose at WPST is to teach the Art of Taxidermy to our students in an intense, yet enjoyable eight week course. Offering the most up to date taxidermy techniques available, we provide you with the skills necessary to begin your own commercial taxidermy business. As a competent taxidermist, you will be involved in an occupation that allows you to set your own high quality standards, and do the work you love for the rest of your life!

To insure quality, we offer hands-on taxidermy instruction, small classes, and a "do it till it's right" attitude. We do not settle for inferior workmanship on the basis of time restrictions or any other reason! We guide you through, each step of the way until you have completed your project to our satisfaction!

To produce a first-rate collection of mounts in the eight week time period allotted, we have perfected a timing system that enables each student to practice top quality taxidermy techniques, without feeling rushed.
To accomplish this, we make the most of every minute of class time. For example, we do not work on just one taxidermy project non-stop from start to finish. While one mount is drying & waiting for finishing techniques, there are plenty of other projects that can be worked on in the mean time. This timing is not only important for taxidermy training purposes, it also teaches how you to run your own taxidermy business in a time efficient manner!
Finally, we do not have any "wasted" lecture hours that cover unrelated topics such as the "history" of taxidermy. Learning how taxidermists worked in the 1940's has nothing to do with running a modern, efficient taxidermy shop today.
