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. I've done this enough times to guide you through the tougher parts, but I won't give you a rigid template. What you create will be uniquely yours because the process will be yours.

​There are evenings you attend. This one you make. This is focused making—not loud, not quiet, but the unique energy of a room where everyone is working toward something real.

​Good to know:

• ​Each lamp is one of a kind, and selection of unique, textured papers to choose from.

• ​Light bulb included.

• ​Artist-led instruction.

• ​Tea during the session.
