I’ve always been interested in Taxidermia ever since my Auntie Ruby had her cat stuffed and various other animals around her house. She lived on a farm and was adorable. When my pet Guinea Pig Spud died I wanted to stuff him and preserve him forever needless to say my parents weren’t fans of that idea! I am happy to interview my friend Leah AKA Primrose Peach on her time as being a taxidermist.

Why do you think you were put on this earth?
to bring back animals from the dead






Tell us a bit more about being a taxidermist?
I make taxidermy pieces for artists, movies props and collectors.

Where did your love for Taxidermy spring from?
It originally stemmed from when I was around the age of 14 and I went on a school trip to Austria. The ski lodge we were staying at was covered in taxidermy. Ever since then I’ve been fascinated by it. When I left school and I was doing fashion styling, I began trying to make small pieces for fashion shoots and then I went on to make bigger and better pieces. Now it is my only love.

Who’s the best person you’ve worked with?
I went to school in Texas to learn taxidermy and the family who taught me were quite amazing. I would love to go back and visit them one day.

And the worst?
Doing taxidermy you don’t really work with anybody. Its quite a solitary job.

Top 5 people?

Top 5 animals?
