Paper Lamp Making

Paper has been used for illumination for centuries. Across cultures and continents, wherever people needed to shape darkness, they reached for it.

This evening, you'll continue that tradition. Paper is a material that remembers—every surface retains a bit of the hands that touched it. It looks simple at first, but it reveals its quiet complexity once you start working with it.

You'll build your own lamp from scratch: structure first, then the paper, shaping the form with your hands as you go. The instructor will guide you through the tougher parts without imposing a rigid template, so each lamp will be uniquely yours.

Good to know: each lamp is one of a kind, selection of unique textured papers, light bulb included, artist-led instruction, tea during the session. No experience needed — you leave with a finished paper lamp, ready to use.

Important details: intentionally small, limited to 7 spots per session. Registration is non-refundable unless the session is canceled; it is transferable to a friend if your plans change.
