Amanda's Autopsies

Amanda's Autopsies Taxidermy

www.amandasautopsies.com

Amanda has mainly been influenced by Walter Potter,
who was one of the first to dress up preserved animals
in costumes. When the Potter collection was split up
and sold on to private collectors a few years back,
Amanda wanted to recreate some of the pieces herself,
as most of the collection would never be seen by
the public again. She now does generic taxidermy,
jewellery, and steampunk themed pieces on commission.

Amanda doesn't use animals that were killed for taxidermy, she uses reptile feed, road kill and animals that died naturally. She creates taxidermy to preserve the beauty of the animal.

  • On the 30th June 2012 I will teach a taxidermy tutorial for beginners in the fantastic Grade II Listed Pathology Museum (St Bart’s Hospital campus) This is to coincide with the last week of the “Therianthropy” art exhibition which has been displayed in the museum since April.  The exhibition documents the interraction of animals and humans, within medicine, through the ages and comprises work of local artists such as Dan Hillier and Kitty Valentine. Tickets available via my website or directly from here. Also see poster attached for more details. All equipment will be supplied, you will be working on a mouse and there will also be some light refreshments. We’ll start the lesson at 1pm and work through to 5.30pm, then we’ll pop to the Jugged Hare for a few drinks after and I’ll be there to answer any questions you may still have. Proceeds will go toward restoration of the museum. The museum has a vast range of wet (pickled) specimens to view before or after the event, some of which are forensic pieces. There are only 20 places available, and I hope to see you there!  Thank you so much for your interest in my taxidermy, all the best,  Amanda’s Autopsies Taxidermy
