Description

Join us for a fun afternoon making a drum lampshade to suit your own home decor! Anyone can do this, it's a brilliant way to spend time with old friends or come on your own and meet new ones! Small groups (max 6 people) - all tools and equipment will be provided, but please do bring your own 70x30 cms fabric if you would like to. Light refreshments including a glass of wine will also be provided so please mention any allergies beforehand. At the initial workshop we will be making a 20cms drum lampshade, however any students wishing to come to a second workshop can branch out and experiment with different sizes, shapes and designs! If you would like to recycle or repair an old lampshade this can be planned for a second workshop too.
