Two-day Soft Lampshade-Making Workshop
This is a lampshade-making workshop for beginners. Basic sewing skills are required as we will be working with sewing machines as well as using hand-stitching techniques.
This workshop is all about learning in a fun, supportive atmosphere where everyone gets to walk away with their own handmade lampshade.
Please note, we will be making traditional soft lampshades, not the stiff, modern drum-style.
All materials will be supplied, including a variety of small frames (perfect for bedside table lamps), as well as a selection of fabrics and trims to choose from.
Workshop schedule: 09:30 – 16:30 both days, with a 40-minute lunch break.
Spaces available: Only small groups of 6, so it's nice and cosy!
Workshop fee: £150
Next workshop dates:
