TO BOOK

£60 for the afternoon

All materials included

Book directly with Folkingham Creative Arts

ON THE DAY

  • We will look at what makes the perfect lampshade, making sure the fabric you use suits your ideas.

  • Working through the steps to create a bespoke drum or cone shape lampshade using hard PVC backing.

  • The lampshades will be 25cm at the base and can be made to fit a lamp or a ceiling light.

  • Cutting fabric and backing to your specific needs. No pre-cut sizes here!

  • All materials are included.

YOUR IDEAS

Please feel free to discuss with me any specific ideas in advance and I can let you know if they are feasible. I am happy to advise on fabrics as well. Cotton works best but many other textiles work too but I recommend avoiding silk as it will come away from the backing over time.


CANCELLATIONS

Please give as much warning as possible if you are unable to attend. Unfortunately Folkingham Creative Arts will not be able to offer a refund after one month before the workshop.
