303 - 3 Bird House

[back to quicklinks]
$ 120 Plus $20 materials fee  

 

Learn a simple and foolproof method to animate these happy little birds for a fun and engaging interactive toy. It really is hard to *not* play with it. This rather haphazard house with funny angles proves that precise measurements are definitely not required in order for the birds to move flawlessly. Add any message on the roof that is meaningful to you. We'll also make a little screen door from raw materials. Once learned, there are numerous options to make wonderful variations of this magical moving creation. All art supplies are provided so just bring the few tools that are all the list and come prepared to have fun and smile.

*Supply List*

  • Wire pliers (for up to 16 gauge wire)
  • Clay shaper tools with rubber or silicone tips (recommend the kind with a pointed tip if you only want to purchase one).
