Wiped off the face of the face…book. I’m a repeat offender you see. Keep publishing indecent material apparently. God knows what I was dreaming about but I woke up and the first thing I did was this.

TAXIDERMY TUESDAY (See You Next Tuesday)

It's about time I jumped on the bandwagon of my own name and brought the animal magic to Bristol, with some extra special D.I.Y Taxidermy lessons. This mysterious and dark art is now easy and accessible with a workshop that proves you don’t have to be a scientist to perform your own experiments, you don’t have to be an artist to get creative, and you certainly don’t need to be a taxidermist to do some taxidermy…. Using basic materials and first hand knowledge you will be guided though the ins and outs of a less stuffy brand of Taxidermy, and in a few hours you could have a friend for life. These workshops will take place at my studio on Lincoln Street. The perfect place to immerse yourself in art, taxidermy and surreal weirdness.  All materials provided, no experience welcome. Places are extremely limited so please book in advance-You can do so by emailing me on this ridiculously long email:  charlietuesdaywinnergates@gmail.com Just in case you'r
