About this event
African Print Lampshade Making with SistaCrafts!
Ready to light up your space with something bold and beautiful? Come join us at Diverse in Brixton for a vibrant, hands-on workshop where you'll create your very own Ankara drum lampshade.
In just 2 hours, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process of making a stunning 25cm-wide lampshade. You'll be able to create a lampshade that perfectly complements your home.
I’ll be sharing my tried-and-tested techniques and insider tips to help you craft a lampshade that looks like it stepped straight out of a designer’s studio.
First time making a lampshade? don't worry. This workshop is perfect for beginners.
So, what's included:
- African print fabric – choose from our selection of vibrant designs (**or bring your own - half metre of cotton works best. No heavy upholstery, velvet, or silk).
- All the tools and components you'll need to craft your masterpiece.
- Step-by-step written guide, so you can recreate this at home.
By the end, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind piece that you can use on a lamp stand or hang as a ceiling pendant.
So, don't miss out, book your spot, bring a friend, and make it a memorable outing at our African Print Lampshade Making workshop!
