Services & Process

Prism Specialties brings a fine arts sensibility to its taxidermy work, which fits naturally alongside its framing and restoration services. Taxidermy mounts benefit from the same color matching, finishing, and archival thinking that goes into art restoration work. Custom framing for trophy displays, shadowboxes for fish mounts or bird feathers, and habitat dioramas that blend taxidermy with artistic design are all possibilities at a multi-discipline studio like this. Museums, schools, and serious collectors will find the combination of services particularly useful for building or restoring natural history displays.

Service Area

Prism Specialties serves the Greater Cleveland area from its Strongsville base and extends its reach into southwestern Pennsylvania, making it a cross-state resource for clients in the Pittsburgh region as well. Communities across Cuyahoga, Medina, and Summit counties in Ohio are all within easy driving distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a taxidermy studio that also does framing and art restoration different?
The crossover in skills means the team understands archival materials, color preservation, and presentation aesthetics at a deeper level than most standalone taxidermists. That attention to how a piece is displayed, not just preserved, shows in the finished work.
Do you work with museums or educational institutions?
Studios with combined taxidermy, framing, and restoration capabilities are well-suited for institutional clients who need natural history displays, specimen cases, or restored mounts. It's worth calling to discuss the scope of your project directly.
Can you restore or repair an old or damaged taxidermy mount?
Taxidermy restoration is a specialty service that involves repairing damaged hides, replacing deteriorated glass eyes, repainting faded areas, and restructuring forms that have warped over time. Not all studios offer this, but one with an art restoration background is a natural fit.
Can you create a custom shadowbox or framed display for a fish or bird mount?
Custom shadowboxes and framed displays are a natural offering for a studio that combines framing and taxidermy. These setups work especially well for fish replicas, bird wings, turkey fans, and antler arrangements.
Do you serve clients in Pennsylvania as well as Ohio?
Yes, Prism Specialties specifically names southwestern Pennsylvania in its service area, making it a practical option for clients in Mercer, Lawrence, or Beaver counties who want access to this range of services. Shipping and transport options are worth discussing for larger pieces.
How does art restoration knowledge apply to taxidermy work?
Both disciplines involve preserving organic materials, matching colors accurately, and preventing long-term deterioration. Experience with art restoration informs better decisions about finishes, materials, and display environments that extend the life of a taxidermy mount.
