Kindred Spirits  Taxidermy

Hello, and thank you for your interest in our taxidermy work  We. are located in Southeast Iowa, where Illinois, Iowa and Missouri touch, right on the Mississippi River. My name is JoAnn Waddell, and I have been a taxidermist since 1993. The school was started in 2000, and we have taught hundreds of students and many have gone on to win state and national titles. Last November we closed the school and now are concentrating on our customer taxidermy work. Phone number has changed: 319-759-1045.

Besides this website you can locate us on Facebook where you will be able to scroll back into our archives and see classroom photos, view students working on their mounts and finished mounts, also comments from past students. I am still available over the phone and through facebook to support my graduates and their questions. You can contact me there or over the phone as many of you have done to question about a mount that you have seen that we did here at the school. Advice is free, and I give it freely. 

Thanks, JoAnn
