    Brooklyn Black Cultural Heritage Fort Greene and Clinton Hill

    Powered by Viator

    Brooklyn, NY

    Your walk takes you through some of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill’s most storied ground: a landmark park with deep ties to Black protest and celebration, a historic church whose walls held secrets of the Underground Railroad, residential blocks where towering figures of American culture once lived and created, independent cultural spaces that continue the tradition today, and Brooklyn’s preeminent performing arts institution and its relationship to Black artists across generations. The Fort Greene and Clinton Hill neighborhoods have quietly shaped American history, literature, film, and activism . From the abolitionists who turned local churches into way stations on the road to freedom, to the iconic artists and filmmakers who made these blocks their creative home, to the community builders and activists whose work continues today—this is a tour that honors the full, unfiltered arc of Black Brooklyn.

    Custom Copper Lamp Making Class - Brooklyn, New York

    Powered by Viator

    Brooklyn, NY

    Our Copper Lamp workshop gives you the tools, materials, and inspiration to craft an actual working lamp and light up your life with a funky awesome Edison bulb. If you want visitors to your home to know you made this lamp with your own two hands, you are going to have to find a way to work it into conversation organically, because it isn’t self-evident. Many in the Craftsman Ave community consider the Copper Lamp workshop to be the “gateway” into maker life. Be warned: You are likely to catch the maker fever, and the only cure is more workshops! Not only will you play with shiny copper pipes and manipulate them into the design of your choice (this is where a childhood spent among building sets will pay dividends), but you will also control the power of fire as you solder together the copper joints of your creation. This is a “beginner” level workshop, meaning that no knowledge of copper pipe fitting and soldering is required, but the sky is the limit for your creative design!
