Join us for an enjoyable Lampshade Making workshop where in an afternoon you’ll learn to craft your own straight-sided drum lampshade! This hands-on Lamp Making workshop is ideal for anyone looking to add a personal touch to their home decor.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a beautifully made drum lampshade, approximately 35cm in diameter, perfect for a table lamp, pendant lamp, or small floor lamp with standard fittings. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn a new craft and create a beautiful, bespoke lampshade that will fit in perfectly with your home décor. Reserve your spot today and join us for a fun and creative afternoon!

WHAT’S INCLUDED
The Lampshade Making workshop fee covers all necessary materials and tools, except for the fabric. To personalize your lampshade, please bring along 0.5 meters of standard width fabric (between 1.2 and 1.5 meters wide). For best results, we recommend using cotton or linen fabrics. Please avoid bringing silks, sheers, or heavy upholstery fabrics like velvet. Bring an apron or painting smock to use while gluing. Note details on best fabrics below.

LAMPSHADE MAKING HIGHLIGHTS
You will discover the art of lampshade making in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Enjoy a practical, step-by-step process guided by Claire, our experienced tutor.
With only 10 participants, you’ll receive individualized guidance to ensure you create a professional-quality lampshade.
You’ll craft a unique item to enhance the setting of any room in your home.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Pre-booking is essential to secure your spot as spaces are limited to 10 participants. This workshop is designed for personal enjoyment and skill development. By purchasing a space, you agree not to use the skills acquired for business or commercial purposes.

BEST FABRICS TO CHOOSE
A printed fabric is better for beginners than a plain as it is less likely to show any imperfections of crafting. Stripes and plaids are not suitable for beginners due to the difficulty of matching the pattern. Ideal fabrics include closely woven medium-weight linen, curtain-weight cottons or linens, and quilting cottons or linens. Unsuitable fabrics include silks, polyester silk-style curtaining, loosely woven fabrics, and treated polyester or acrylic canvas (deck chair/awning fabrics) so please don’t choose these.
