Troublesome Trophies and Fragile Feathered Friends: Introduction to the Care of Historic Taxidermy
This webinar is an introduction to the care of taxidermy by a master taxidermist and an objects conservator. The presentation will cover what to look for in a mount to help determine its manner of construction and perhaps it's age, how mounts typically deteriorate over time and how to provide proper preventive care. If refurbishment is necessary, taxidermists and conservators often have differing approaches and the presenters will describe what to expect from the process. Health and safety concerns in dealing with older mounts will also be covered. Featured Speakers: George Dante, Founder, Wildlife Preservations, has more than 30 years of experience as a taxidermist, model maker, illustrator and fine artist and Eugenie Milroy is a Professional Associate member of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) with over 20 years of museum and conservation experience.
