Workshop: Make Your Own Lamp

Create your own fabric lamp at a workshop in Geneva that specializes in handmade and custom lampshades

atelier contre-jour, initiez vous à la création d'un abat-jour et repartez avec votre lampe

Discover the craftsmanship behind our artistry through a 3-hour workshop, during which you’ll handcraft your own lamp.
You’ll choose the fabric from our wide selection of textiles, as well as the height of your lamp—key steps for exploring the connection between light and material.
We’ll then guide you through each step of the process, teaching you the techniques and skills needed to create your lamp.
We’ll take care of the finishing touches to ensure your lamp is perfectly crafted.
Your lamp will be ready for pickup at the workshop in the coming days, once the finishing touches are complete.
All materials are included, except for the electrical components. We’ll provide you with recommendations on where to purchase a kit that includes the lamp socket, cable, plug, and switch—so you can customize your lamp down to the smallest detail.
No prior experience is required: the workshop is open to everyone.
A snack break will be provided during the workshop.
