Make your own Junk Lamp

What To Bring!✧˖°.

For this class you'll need to bring something that you would like to turn into a lamp!

Here are parameters you should use to help you pick a usable item:

✮Hollow items please! We can only drill through 2" of material, maximum!

✮Ideally! The object can stand solidly on its own. Stuffed animals can be provided with an

acrylic base if you let us know in advance

✮Usable Materials: plastics, wood, paper, bones, cardboard, thin metals (1/16" or less), even stuffed animals!

✮Unusable Materials: rocks, bricks, stone, thick metals (over 1/16") or any dense, rock-like material.

✮You can bring glass, but you'll need to bring a back-up in case it shatters during the drilling process, it can happen! No ceramics in this class please!

We will have backup options for you to choose from, be prepared to have to pick a backup option in case yours will not make a suitable lamp- we appreciate your understanding.

The lamp style is table top with shade with an 8” lampshade harp, lampshades not provided!
