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.

  • Feel free to arrive in the morning to wander the beautiful grounds and visit the historic house. Your entrance to Bowood House & Gardens is included in the price.

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.
