Moon Lamp Making Workshop in San Jose

What It Is

Our moon lamp making workshop in San Jose runs at 255 N Market Street in downtown, three minutes from San Pedro Square. In 90 minutes you build the moon's cratered surface in textured layers, paint your own colours and patterns, and fit the light so your lamp glows the way you want it to. $99 per person, all materials and the light included, no experience needed.

Public classes seat up to 24 and suit date nights, birthdays and anyone who wants a piece of the night sky on a shelf. Private moon lamp workshops host 10–60 guests at the studio or at your South Bay office.

Mix and layer the texture paste that gives the lamp its craters and ridges, then shape them so the light catches every edge. No two moons come out the same.
