Bespoke Lampshade Making with Shady Ladies

Non members £48

This workshop offers the opportunity to unleash your creativity and make a 30cm drum lampshade, with a fabric of your choice, which you can use in your home for either a table/floor lamp or ceiling pendant.

No experience necessary and no sewing is involved!

You will learn how to apply the lampshade PVC to get the best out of your fabric, how to attach the rings and create neat rolled edges, and master the technique of ‘tucking’ to achieve a polished, professional finish.

Your tutors for this workshop are Jo and Nicky the “Shady Ladies”. Cost includes the lampshade kit – all you need to bring is your choice of material.   You will need 0.5m length of fabric.  We recommend using a light to medium weight fabric, either a cotton, poly cotton or a linen/cotton mix, and if you would like a patterned fabric we recommend a printed design.  Please choose your fabric carefully. If you choose to have a large print then make sure the depth of the design that you would like visible on your shade is a maximum of 25cm as you will need material to tuck in to your shade and will not be showing.

Please bring a mug for tea/coffee.
