There's no sewing required in this relaxed and easy to follow session. This is suitable for complete beginners or more experienced crafters alike. This workshop is subsidised with grant funds from the UK Government.

Fabric- this needs to be at least 1 metre wide by over 30cm in depth. In terms of fabric choices, we would suggest a cotton or linen fabric. If you aren't sure just email us and ask. Some people buy more fabric than they need so that they can make additional lampshades to match after the workshop- we sell the kits at a discount on the day to do this if required.

What's included:

The tuition, the lampshade base which makes a 30cm drum lampshade.
