Aloha Tiki Craftfolk...

I will be hosting Lamp Day 2008 on Saturday May 24th from 10am till whenever we finish.

There is only room for 8 participants and the class cost is $140 per lamp/person. Includes lunch and beverages.

It will be in my garage just like last year.
Vista, CA (North San Diego County)

Just as with last year, I will do enough prep in advance so that you WILL go home with a completed lamp and there wont be any dangerous power tools in use..

I am still waiting for parts to arrive so that I can make a prototype for posting. It will be a layered shell lamp with an Asian styled hat on top. This lamp will feature Pink/Purple Moon Shells (very flat) and a custom Resin Base that I will make for you in advance. The resin base will have a cylinder opening in it and I will put seastars and abalone peices in the resin for you.

Sorry but there arent any holding spots in line. You are registered when you are paid.

Payment can be made using paypal. Or by Check if I see you before the event.

I plan on posting a prototype pic in the next couple weeks.

Participants will be drilling 80+ shells for this class

You should BRING the following tools of your own

• A Dremel Tool (they can be had for as low as $30)
  

• A fine diamond tipped bit (no drill bits)
  Here is a sample.. model # 7134 or 7144 from your local Lowes will work
  Diamond Bit
  

• Glue gun (I am providing the 1/2" thick glue sticks)
  

• Needlenose pliers
  

• protective goggles or clear sunglasses (for drilling out the shells)
  

• work gloves(like gardening gloves or the like)

• a Pair of Tin Snips (if you have them... if not its ok if only half of you have them)

Carpool if you can... gas prices suck...
