What To Expect

Step into a warm, hands-on workshop where plant, pigment, and light come together. You’ll begin by creating your own naturally dyed textile using botanical materials, watching organic patterns and colors emerge through a process that’s both intuitive and experimental.

As your fabric sets, you’ll shift to building a copper lamp base, guided step-by-step through the assembly.

The final moment is where it all transforms; your dyed textile becomes a glowing shade, illuminated from within. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind lamp that feels both functional and deeply personal, a quiet fusion of nature and light made by your own hands.
