Discover two inspiring crafts in one unforgettable lamp making class in Brooklyn that blends natural creativity with hands-on design. This Sunset Park workshop invites you to explore the beauty of botanical dyeing before transforming your handmade fabric into a functional lamp.
An expert instructor will guide you in experimenting with botanical dyeing, using natural materials (leaves, flowers, and natural pigments) to create organic colors, textures, and patterns. Then, you'll learn how to assemble a sleek copper lamp, connecting each wire and joint to build a sturdy base by hand. Once your lamp is complete, you'll turn your one-of-a-kind dyed fabric into a custom lampshade, bringing the entire project to life.
The best part? Switching on your finished lamp and watching your botanical design glow from within! Perfect for creatives seeking fun things to do in NYC or anyone looking for unique DIY projects, you’ll leave with a glowing, one-of-a-kind lamp you made yourself!
