Spectacle Making Class

February 17, 2024 @ 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

£175

Make your very own spectacles or sunglasses in our King’s Cross workshop.

Choose from any existing Cubitts frame in your chosen size, and select from over 130 acetate colours.

How does it work?

  • Each class is held in our King’s Cross workshop, starting at 10am and lasting 4 hours. You’ll learn to cut, shape, sand and assemble your frame, and at the end you’ll have learned the basic steps to make a pair of spectacles. We’ll provide the acetate, tools, and expertise.
  • After each class, our team will complete the final steps to professionally finish your frame and glaze the lenses with or without prescription – a process that takes up to 3 weeks, depending on your lens choice.
  • Your finished spectacles or sunglasses will be then available to pick up in one of our stores, or delivered to your chosen address (please select this during checkout).
  • You will receive a more detailed email from our team prior to your class to let us know your style, colour, and lens choices. Please note that standard lenses are included but other lenses will carry an additional cost.
