Use your creative skills to make and customize your own lamp!

A lamp could be much more than just a passive item collecting dust on your desk, it could have legs, eyes, body, character and personality. A lamp can look like a toy, an insect or animal. We can bring it to life through our imagination, give it a personality and show it on video.

Description:

This Woodworking class will teach you how to design and make your own desk lamp. You will learn various woodworking tools and techniques to obtain a good finish and a beautiful product. You'll have time to design your own version - no two lamps are the same. You will also need to wire the electrical connections. All work is supervised and guided.

It's class is suitable for adults and youngsters (12+) alike.
