December Whirligig Workshop!

~ December Whirligig Workshop! ~

"Make your tree this season be a whirligig"

Sign up now for the December whirligig workshop at Hutch!  Pictured above are a few gigs that were made by participants in a recent workshop.  Wouldn't you like to create your very own whimsical wind spinner for your yard.  Don't let your new year be whirligigless.  I know that December is a particularly busy month for most but making a gig on a Saturday can be a great stress reliever.  It could also be a great gift for a special someone.  The workshop is a hands on all day fun fest and all the structural and  mechanical parts are supplied for you.  All you need to bring is the fun stuff to attach to the structure and  catch the wind.  A distictive" Topper" object is also required.  Give me a call as soon as possible if you would like to sign on up.

DIY Whirligig Plans

"DIY Whirligig"

For those of you that haven't yet had the opportunity to visit hutch studio in La Conner, you may not know that the fence lining our front yard is constructed out of found objects (washboards, croquet balls, rakes, rocking horses, etc...).  The posts of this extraordinary fence are topped by "whirligigs", which are whimsical handmade objects that spin and move in the wind. Hutch studio whirligigs are all made by repurposing old "stuff" that collects in our garages, basements, and sheds. These objects exemplify the creative spirit of hutch studio and I'm pretty sure the #1 most photographed thing in town. They are just so fun to watch spin on breezy day and it's almost like they charge the sidewalk with a creative electricity.  Most of these gigs are for sale (there's a catalog with prices inside the shop).  We also offer monthly workshops on how to build whirligigs.  I am so crazy excited to finally be offering the plans and instructions on how to make your very own whirligig just like the ones here at hutch studio.

Included in this package is a technical drawing (blueprint) of the whirligig pictured on the front label, extensive materials list of every tool, object, and lock washer, and finally step by step list of written instructions.  *If you or someone you know loves a fun construction project and can handle a power drill this is the gig for you.  This fun and special idea sells for $14.  It is available both in the studio or at our blog shop.  To order by phone call 360-466-2303.
