A Little About Us...

While employed as a taxidermist for the Royal Ontario Museum, Peter Knapton was able to further develop his love for art and particularly sculpture.  It was the launching of a dream for him to own a Canadian business offering quality life-sized animal mannikins and supplies for the taxidermy trade.  By combining his talent, hard work and persistence, Knapton Studios was formed in 1984 and with the support of family and long-time staff, this Canadian-based taxidermy supply company has been able to continue to offer quality products. 

On behalf of the encouragement received from people such as Forest Hart, Dale Knobloch, Joe Coombs and a very supportive customer base, Knapton Studios would like to say, "Thank you all," for your on-going affiliation and support!

As Peter's knowledge of animal form, anatomy and love for art continue to blend, we look forward to offering you an ever-widening selection of world-class animal mannikins.
