What It Is
Our Turkish lamp making class in NYC's Financial District runs at 93 Pearl Street, three minutes from Wall St and Whitehall. In two hours you choose a lamp shape and pattern, set hand-cut glass and beads piece by piece, and leave with a working mosaic lamp — bulb, cord and switch included. $99 per person, all materials included. KraftStories makes its own mosaic lamp kits, so you use the same glass we supply to studios nationwide.
Public classes seat up to 24; the Financial District studio is our largest in New York, so private lamp workshops host groups up to 120. Also at our Midtown studio.
