Join us for a creative workshop where we will use the intricate copper foil technique to transform a simple IKEA lantern into a stunning piece of art. You have the freedom to unleash your creativity by designing your own unique pattern or selecting from one of our captivating templates.
Throughout the workshop, our experienced instructors will guide you step-by-step. You will learn essential skills, such as how to skillfully cut glass and utilize grinders to achieve smooth, rough edges that will help your pieces fit together flawlessly.
Once your glass pieces are beautifully shaped, you will apply copper foil to each one and master the art of soldering, gently joining them into cohesive panels.
As the grand finale, we will replace the lantern’s original glass with your exquisite, handcrafted panels, turning a plain lantern into a remarkable work of art that you can proudly display in your home. Come ready to create and be inspired!
