Want to learn some handy repair skills? Join us for our Lamp Lab Fixperience Workshop! This workshop is a fun, hands-on way to jump into DIY repairs, cut down on waste, and keep a little extra cash in your pocket.

The workshop is designed for those with little to no prior experience, so don’t worry if you’re new to this.

Each session is small and friendly, with up to six people per workshop. So whether you come solo or with friends, you’re in for a relaxed, supportive environment. With one to two facilitators for each group, you’ll get plenty of one-on-one guidance as you learn the ropes.

Lamp Lab

In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to safely rewire and repair lamps, pick up practical wiring techniques, and discover simple fixes that can bring old lights back to life. It’s a perfect way to build confidence with small electrical repairs while keeping useful items out of landfill.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already handy with DIY, Lamp Lab will give you the skills to spark your creativity - and maybe even save your favourite lamp.
