Building Acrylic Lamps – Parent-Child Workshop

What do you do with plastic, acrylic glass and LEDs?
RIGHT: build a DIY lamp!

With engraving pens and multi-function tools, we can easily create acrylic glass lamps.

The great thing about it is that you can ultimately personalize the lamp: you can attach motivational sayings, poems, motifs of all kinds and even photos to the light surface.

As always, we have prepared a selection of motifs and templates for you. You can of course also bring your own templates. However, please make sure to note the following points:

1) Your template may have (at most!) the following dimensions:

• Round acrylic glass: 12.5cm wide and 11cm high
• Rectangular acrylic glass: 13cm wide and 15cm high

2) Your artwork must be printed and brought with you AND (important!) horizontally mirrored. For example, if you want a cat looking to the right on the surface, the image must be flipped horizontally 180° using a simple image editing program. Afterward, the cat will be looking to the left. This also applies to sayings and photos. If you have any problems with this, you can quickly send us an email with your artwork, and we will prepare it for you (please send it a few days in advance).

Notes:

• Long hair must be tied back securely and fastened with clips if necessary!
• Due to the noise level, please bring ear protectors or earplugs for yourselves, as well as a face mask (e.g. FFP2) to protect against abrasion.
• A family member and child work together on a lamp and then take it home. The lamp set includes a remote control for effects and color changes, as well as a USB cable. The lamp can also be powered by a mains adapter, but you will need to purchase a USB adapter separately. Alternatively, you can use 3 AA batteries for power.
