About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Do you have an old camera in your family? We love helping you turn that treasure into a meaningful and unique light. Blair leads small groups through the process of visually refurbishing the leather, metal and glass of a film-camera or movie camera. Then he helps you drill holes to accommodate component UL listed lighting parts and vintage fabric cord.

At Rosie's we are known for giving you a complete experience at our workshops. This includes bits of background and knowledge to give your context about your project. Always hands-on in creating your special object you will take home at the end. You will also make new friends with people working along side you who have similar interests and passions.

Note: on 2 for 1 ticket offer. The original ticket price is $99 so you buy 1 ticket and get 1 free for total of $99. Other customers have found the ticket page confusing.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to bring?

An old camera that is meaningful or you think is really cool. We provide everything else including cord kit, hardware, lightbulb and tripod.

How long does this take

Please plan about 2-hours. We show you how to visually refurbish old film equipment with a variety of solvents, cleaners and techniques. Then it's time to drill necessary holes and to wire the cord and socket through the camera. Then it's light up time!

Organized by
