Custom Copper Lamp Class

Learn the fundamentals of soldering and build a one-of-a-kind copper pipe lamp!



4 hours Location Sunset Park Class size 1 to 15 (public classes), 5 to 10   $245

If you love great design and a great DIY project, this class in NYC gives you a hands-on experience to make something beautiful.
Our three hour Copper Lamp workshop gives you the tools, materials, and inspiration to craft an actual working lamp and light up your life with a funky awesome Edison bulb. If you want visitors to your home to know you made this lamp with your own two hands, you are going to have to find a way to work it into conversation organically, because it isn’t self evident.
This is your new identity. You are the cool friend that makes their own lamps!
Many in the Craftsman Ave community consider the Copper Lamp workshop to be the “gateway” into maker life. Be warned: You are likely to catch the maker fever, and the only cure is more workshops!
Crafting a Copper Lamp is a delicious taste of dopamine rush from creating with fire.
Yes! Not only will you play with shiny copper pipes and manipulate them into the design of your choice (this is where a childhood spent among building sets will pay dividends), you will also control the power of fire as you solder together the copper joints of your creation.
Tools and techniques: You’ll use some simple hand tools to cut copper pipe. We’ll then teach you the art of soldering, using a propane torch to connect the pieces of your lamp.

  • 5/5 from Amanda Gomes, attended Apr 2024: We took the copper lamp making class for our anniversary and enjoyed it a lot! The teacher was super friendly and chill!
  • 5/5 from Svetlana Mikhalevskaya, attended Mar 2024: The Teacher is Great! She is creative, opened and very sportive. The materials were provided, we made cooper lamp.
  • 5/5 from Daniel Payne, attended Sep 2023: This was a great class - easy to get started (and started on time), tools were available and examples provided, clear instructions, opportunities to experiemntand most importantly, I left with a great looking copper lamp!
  • 5/5 from Yaakov Lustiger, attended Apr 2023: The teacher at Craftsman Ave was very patient and knowledgeable, and he was very clear on making sure that everyone understood the steps so that everyone would be able to leave with a finished product. The venue was very nice, very organized, and they made sure we had everything we needed. It was definitely worthwhile experience and I felt that I had learned a lot about copper pipe fabrication in a very easy, hands-on way, and totally worth the price. I honestly enjoyed the whole process (especially the torch :)) as I come from a diy background and that to me each step was very fun. 5 Stars!
  • 5/5 from Carly McBride, attended Mar 2023: The teachers were helpful and understanding! They had amazing energy and a good choice of music. I booked a class for my birthday party and we all left with lamps that we love.
  • 5/5 from Vielka Clavijo, attended Feb 2023: The instructors were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. This was our first custom lamp copper making class and it was very enjoyable and looking forward to take another class. It was worth the money. I will totally recommend it to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Amber Sepulveda, attended Feb 2023: For someone who has never done an activity of this caliber, it was really easy, well paced, intimately guided, and above all, loads of fun! Surprised my partner with this as a date and he absolutely loved it.
  • 5/5 from Daniel Velez-Gomez, attended Dec 2022: The teacher was phenomenal, the atmosphere energetic, and overall an amazing experience and perfect date activity. Will definitely be returning!
  • 5/5 from Joshua Sylvan, attended Dec 2022: Alys was a fantastic host. It was so much fun in a relaxed environment. Such a great concept and totally worth it. Can’t wait to do it again!
  • 5/5 from Dune Nguyen, attended Dec 2022: Great class. Great environment. Fun and relaxed. Would definitely do again. Highly recommend to everyone.
  • 5/5 from Haley Schattner, attended Dec 2022: Arlene was great! Very knowledgeable and helpful. It’s lovely to have full creative freedom when it comes to materials. The only negative to this experience was the bathroom. First, the studio should have a bathroom. If the location does not allow, Craftsman needs to find a new place because the current bathroom in the next building over is a dump.
  • 5/5 from Kasey Bandilla, attended Nov 2022: This class was amazing. The teachers were super helpful and were walking around the whole time to ensure that everyone knew what they were doing. They gave tutorials each step of the way that were clear and helpful. All materials were provided. Three hours seems like a long time, but once you start the project, you realize why you need that much time. The space was cozy and cute. We sat at a table with 4 other people, but there are also individual tables perfect for dates. We had a great time chatting and jamming out as everyone worked on their lamps. The staff are also very accommodating. Our lamps weren’t finish drying, so they allowed us to keep them there until we were able to pick them up. I would highly recommend. Definitely looking into taking more classes from them in the future!
  • 5/5 from Robin Hammond, attended Nov 2022: Alys was AWESOME and I’m already planning my next class with her in mind
  • 5/5 from Mallikha Goli, attended Jun 2022: Very helpful and so much fun! Our instructors made a point of being there for any questions and helped when we got stuck. Also very funny.
