When the hide of an African elephant appears at our workshop door, even the radio falls silent for a moment.
Not out of fear – but because we know what lies ahead: a task that tests everything we have. Knowledge, patience, strength, and true teamwork.
Iveta and Zbyněk were the first to take on the project. They’ve handled just about everything in this craft – yet even for them, an elephant is a challenge approached with deep respect.
Every piece of hide carries its weight, literally and figuratively. Every stitch matters. Every small adjustment brings this giant one step closer to reclaiming its form.
Projects like this always remind us why we do this work. Taxidermy isn’t just a craft – it’s a careful reconstruction of a story that would otherwise disappear.
Stay tuned. More from this journey soon.
