Our Copper Lamp workshop gives you the tools, materials, and inspiration to craft an actual working lamp and light up your life with a funky awesome Edison bulb. If you want visitors to your home to know you made this lamp with your own two hands, you are going to have to find a way to work it into conversation organically, because it isn’t self-evident. Many in the Craftsman Ave community consider the Copper Lamp workshop to be the “gateway” into maker life. Be warned: You are likely to catch the maker fever, and the only cure is more workshops! Not only will you play with shiny copper pipes and manipulate them into the design of your choice (this is where a childhood spent among building sets will pay dividends), but you will also control the power of fire as you solder together the copper joints of your creation. This is a “beginner” level workshop, meaning that no knowledge of copper pipe fitting and soldering is required, but the sky is the limit for your creative design!

Discover Brooklyn’s hidden Hasidic neighborhood, where numerous sects coexist, offering an inside glimpse into a vibrant and unexpectedly diverse community. We will enter another world where we’ll be transported back to 18th-century Poland! While many Jewish immigrant communities in America focused on assimilation, the aftermath of the Holocaust brought a different approach. European Jewish spiritual leaders, who survived the war, rebuilt their Rabbinic courts in New York City, creating a new type of Jewish community that emphasized preserving tradition over assimilation. To this day, a growing number of communities are isolating themselves and rejecting the larger outside culture in cities and towns across the US. Usually, a neighborhood has one isolated sect, like the Satmar in Williamsburg or the Lubavitch in Crown Heights. Boro Park is the exception within the exception – a Hasidic neighborhood with diverse sects representing a large swath of the Ultra-Orthodox Jewish World.
