Electrical 201: I Love Lamp

July 16 @ 12:00 pm 1:30 pm CDT

How to Make a Lamp, Wire a Lamp, Go Wire Nuts.

We’ve had so many of you ask for it, and now it’s here! You’ve learned about switches and outlets, but now learn more in-depth stuff about wiring and how to make a lamp out of almost anything. Nothing you need a degree for; just leveling up for more competence and comfort with your electrical skill set.

We’ll plan, assemble, and wire a lamp out of basic materials. We will have an assortment of things on-hand, but if there’s something special you want to make into a lamp, bring it! 

Please take Electrical Basics 101: No ZAP before this one.

Lamp ideas:

  • Glass jars filled with something
  • Cool (thick) piece of wood
  • A statue or vase
  • Anything that can stand on its own and that you can drill a hole through, really.

You will learn:

  • Wiring dos and don’ts
  • How to attach light sockets
  • Different kinds of switches
  • Finials, shades, and other finishing ideas

Supplies Needed:

None unless you want to bring something at home to make or decorate your cool lamp. If you have wire strippers, bring them in.
