Tonja Grung

Tonja Grung has studied and worked in rural science, art and design, education, furniture and structural welding. She now works as a full time and professional taxidermist in London on commissions ranging from a chameleon to a pelican.

Tonja also works on collaborations, private and commercial collections for education, museums and the film industry. She has been teaching the art of taxidermy since 2014 using traditional and modern techniques, as part of the last Tuesday society.

"All the animals I use in my work or in teaching are worked on with the utmost respect and I feel a great honour that I have the opportunity."
