Brand B Fundamentals: Paper Lamp Workshop - Crows Nest
Description
Three unhurried hours, shaping paper into light. Brand B Fundamentals is a three-hour, small-group workshop exploring paper, structure and light through hands-on making.
Guided from beginning to end, you will build a lightweight frame, work with translucent mulberry paper and create your own sculptural paper lamp to take home.
The workshop is designed for first-time makers as well as those with an interest in objects, interiors and material-led design. No previous experience is required.
Eight places around one shared table. Tea throughout. Every material is provided, including a commercially manufactured plug-in lamp base, cord, socket and LED bulb. Participants make the decorative lamp structure only and do not perform electrical work. You’ll leave with your completed lamp ready to use.
No experience needed. Nothing is rushed.

About Brand B
Brand B is a Sydney studio for thoughtful objects and experiences.
We're interested in what happens when people make things together. Phones down, hands busy, a few hours where nothing needs answering.
We started with light because light is difficult, and because a lamp is something you keep. It stays in the room long after the afternoon does.
Everything is made by hand, from natural materials.

FAQs
- Do I need any experience?
No. The workshop is designed for first-time makers, and you will be guided through each stage of the process.
- What will I take home ?
You will take home a finished paper lamp with its base, cord, socket and bulb, carefully packed for transport.
- Getting there
Crows Nest Metro station is a short walk from the venue. Limited street parking may be available on Clarke Street and surrounding streets. Please check the current parking signs and allow enough time to arrive 10 minutes before the workshop.
- Can I attend by myself?
Absolutely. The workshop is held around one shared table and is designed to feel welcoming to people attending alone or with a friend.
- What should I wear?
Wear something comfortable that you do not mind using while working with paper and water-based paste. We will have aprons just in case!
- How will I take the lamp home?
Protective packaging is included. The finished lamp is lightweight and designed to be carried home after the workshop.
- Is it safe?
Brand B supplies a commercially manufactured, unmodified plug-in lamp base, cord, socket and LED bulb. Participants make the decorative lamp structure only and do not perform electrical work. The lamp design keeps the paper clear of the bulb.
