DIY Bottle Lamp Workshop- 2nd Round

CMS added image

This week we had our second installment of the Make your own bottle lamp workshop. Juan from Mas des Treflel and Stewart from Australian Home Living lead the group through first learning how to make a pattern and cover a lampshade, before embarking on the electrical side of wiring up a lamp correctly.

This time we were able to provide a variety of bottles with young Mr. Falcon's in Glebe providing us with a collection of Kraken Rum bottles and Young Henry's providing us with their 2lt growlers and some limited edition 1lt bottles from a beer specially made for the band You am I - called Brew Am I. Plus they suck us a few bottles for a cheeky afternoon beer!

We think the results were fantastic. It was great to host such a lovely group at The Works on a sunny afternoon in Glebe.

Both workshops will pass on the skills required to make the products and we supply all materials and assistance required for everyone to leave with their own product at the end of it. The courses are being run on Sunday afternoons from 1pm til 4pm and are hosted by our in-store vendors and staff.

Both workshops are great value at only $70, which is actually less than the cost of the products themselves. Whether you're a novice or a hack, The Works Workshop series has got your back. We're excited to share our skills with you and, more so, share a laugh or two.

​Spots to both workshops are limited to 15 and are filling up fast.

Bookings can be made online via credit card, instore by cash or you can even buy a gift voucher for a friend.
