Class Description – (10 students max)
David will be teaching how to make a light house during the HOC. The fascination with lighthouses throughout the world is difficult to explain. It may be the stories connected to the lives of the lovely lighthouse keepers, the haunting tales of pirates and shipwrecks along the rocky coastlines, or the wonderful memories of spending the summer at the beach with family. Whatever it is, lighthouses have a mystic a that continues to captivate the imagination. People love them for gifts, and they sell immediately. In this workshop, I will show how your imagination and the limb of a tree can be turned into a decorative little lighthouse. The dimensions, shapes, and styles will vary however the finished piece will measure approximately 3" diameter by 10" tall. Because this is a free-form project, the measurements are purely suggestions.
