How long is the class?
Classes run approximately 2 hours.
What should I bring?
Just yourself! I will supply everything you need to make one Turkish Lamp.
May we book as a group?
Yes! I can accommodate groups of up to 4 people in my “tiny-studio” or you may register for a class by yourself and meet some new friends.
Will I take my lamp home that day?
Yes, you will be given plaster of Paris as part of your kit and will do the plaster application at home so the glue has time to cure. The adhesive generally takes 48-72 hours to dry. For best results, waiting the entire 72 hours is recommended. Additionally, there are vidoes on this website teaching how to apply Plaster of Paris.
Do you have washroom facilities?
Since the studio is a tiny house, there are no washrooms available to students.
May I design my own lamp?
Yes – you may design it however you wish. I have many different colours of tiles and beads with which to decorate your lamp shade, and I also provide traditional templates.
Is there a class age limit?
We suggest these workshops for ages 10 and up.
I want to make another lamp. Do you offer kits for sale?
We sure do! Home kits are available for purchase. I’m also offering advanced Turkish Lamp making classes.
How many people can you accommodate?
I can accommodate only 4 people per class in my studio. For groups of between 5-12 people our workshops can be hosted at Strawberry Sunshine in Guelph. I can also be booked to travel to your location for groups of 8 or more.
Will you come to my home or office to do a workshop?
With a minimum of 8 participants, yes I would be happy to. I also offer discounts on larger group workshops, so please ask for more information.
Where can I buy your lamps?
These are available at Anna Mae’s Bakery & Restaurant, Gifts on the Grand, and Strawberry Sunshine. I’m adding more retailers, so check back again soon!
May we bring snacks?
Yes that’s just fine!
