Taxidermy Workshop

Anc Ador is running a taxidermy workshop at the Lincoln Labour Club & Institute on Sunday 22 November, from 13:00 to 17:00. It's a four-hour session that takes you through the full process on a rat, from skinning right through to positioning, so you'll see the whole thing from start to finish rather than just one part of it. The whole thing is hands-on and interactive, and it's aimed at curious learners, students and anyone looking to pick up some practical expertise in the craft.

One detail that's worth knowing: all the rats are sourced from a reptile shop, so you're not working with animals that were pets. The workshop is open to over-13s, though anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult. It's a focused afternoon, and since you're working through the entire process in one go, you'll leave with a proper handle on how it's done.

The session runs from 13:00 to 17:00 at the Lincoln Labour Club & Institute, Grafton House, 32 Newland, Lincoln LN1 1XJ. Tickets are £45, and you're asked to arrive ten minutes before the start time. There's a bar on site with refreshments available at an extra cost, so if you fancy a drink while you work, that's an option, though it's not included in the ticket price.
