In episode 045 Elle chats with Jazmine
Miles-Long; Taxidermist, Artist, Educator and Natural History
Restorer based in Hastings UK.
Jazmine calls herself an ‘ethical’ taxidermist to describe the way
she produces work only using animals that have died from natural
causes. Jazmine specialises in creating ethically sourced bespoke
taxidermy for galleries and museums, promoting ethical practices
and delivering lectures and workshops at various institutions. She
aims to elevate taxidermy as a respected art form, shedding light
on its scientific and cultural benefits, and also runs educational
workshops focusing on ethics and the role of makers in creating a
better future for the planet. Jazmine uses sustainable and stable
Oddy tested and conservation grade materials to produce her
work.
