Description

What you'll learn in this metal working class:

Learn the fundamentals of soldering by designing and building a one-of-a-kind copper pipe lamp

Click here if you want to book for the Date Night couple class instead

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.

This is a “beginner” level workshop, meaning that no knowledge of copper pipe fitting and soldering is required, but the sky is the limit for your creative design!

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.

Length: 3 hours, give or take thirty minutes.

    Build a Custom Lamp with Craftsman My hosts were Jacob and Jullian, both were fantastic. I like to give a special thanks to Jullian for all of her additional assistance. She is so very kind and special. I also, got to meet a wonderful young woman named Victoria. Victoria, it was definitely because of you, I came home with a completed project. The vibe in the atmosphere was everything that really promoted such creativity for so many in the room. People projects were amazing. We were shown to cut our own copper piping to create our lamps. This would be a great holiday gift to give to anyone or yourself, perfect for a couple night! I can not wait to enrolled in other workshops they chave to offer.

    Overall, good course. I like the location, the establishment. Who the instructor is has a lot to do with the quality of the course. Having said that, I was happy with the end result of my project.

    I absolutely loved my experience at Craftsman studio! I build a copper lamp with the patient support of my teacher. She was amazing in how she guided me through each step of cutting the copper pipes, soldering the copper pipes, pushing the wires through the copper pipes, gluing the pipes together. Finally my teacher fastened the plug to the end of the wires then turned the light on so I could see the final result. Excellent outgoing teacher. I Would definitely go again!

    I loved the lamp I made at the end and am super excited to make myself some more now I know how. The reason for 3 stars were twofold. First, although the lamp was great, I'm not sure it was quite worth the price paid for the workshop. Second and probably more important though was the lack of attentiveness, most of the group had long finished parts and were largely waiting around for the teachers (who were lovely, just a bit distracted) Maybe a bit more structure in the workshop would help. The workshop had great vibes though and everyone was lovely. And honestly love my new lamp!

    I went to the build a copper lamp class and I have to say it was pretty awesome. You do not need any experience as the instructor went over each step and was very attentive to those who had questions or needed extra guidance. I was rather proud of myself at the end result and would definitely do another class.

    This was an incredibly fun class and a great date night activity. Our instructors were fun, helpful, and hands-on. The project was easy to learn but involved a number of skills that were new and interesting. I would highly recommend this course and other courses at this venue.

    My boyfriend loves copper bulbs so I decided to take him to this class for our stay in NYC. The class was amazing! Our instructor gave us beer, wine, or a beverage of our choice, we got to choose the music during our building, and it was a great and comfortable atmosphere from the start. I enjoyed being given the freedom to select my own creative bulb idea and have as much time as possible to talk, joke, and build. Now my copper bulb is on my nightstand in Florida. Anybody that comes to NYC should do this class!! It’s super worth it, and the staff was very friendly.

I believe if you cancel with 48 hours notice there's no problem with refund. Also if it's a last minute emergency, please notify instructor as soon as possible, he/she may allow you to reschedule.
