Hi Signs opens its studio for a hands-on workshop: craft, wire, and light up your own custom Matchbook lamp to take home.

Over approximately three hours, you'll move through our shop and experience the creative process from concept to completion. Along the way, you'll see how design, printing, materials, technology, and craftsmanship come together to transform an idea into a finished object.

Then, it's your turn to make!

With guidance from the Hi Signs team, you'll create your own illuminated Matchbook lamp. Choose your graphic, move through the fabrication and assembly process, install the lighting and bring your piece to life with the flip of a switch.

The experience extends beyond the workbench. Enjoy coffee from local Piccolo Coffee Lab and bagels from Beb's Bagels while connecting with fellow design enthusiasts, exchanging ideas and sparking conversations about design, process and making.

You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind illuminated piece made by your own hands and a closer look at the method behind bringing an idea into the physical world.

Strike an idea. See what lights up.
