Jazmine Miles-Long

I will be at Burgess Hill Summer Festival next Monday June 5th 7.30pm at The Atrium. Contact helppoint@burgesshill.gov.uk for more info and tickets.

"Taxidermy is a skilled craft that requires a combination of sculptural knowledge and a love of natural history. Hugely popular during the Victorian era, Taxidermy is experiencing a major revival today. Ethical taxidermist Jazmine Miles-Long only works with animals that have died from natural causes or road casualties. Her love of natural history has led her to make work that respects the animal and highlights its beauty. Come and hear Jazmine talk about her craft and see some examples of her work."
