"Excellent course. I really enjoyed it and came away with a lovely lampshade I now have up in my home. Clare was friendly, informative and very organised. She had great tips and time saving suggestions for us. It was a lovely way to spend a morning. Her studio was very inspiring so we were surrounded by her lovely work and examples. Thankyou"

Nadine reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"Definitely recommend this workshop, I had such a lovely morning with Clare, who is a brilliant teacher and the small group of ladies who were all so lovely. The session was ran well, well informed, and a lot of fun. The workshop itself was a lovely space to be in and we created some beautiful lampshades which was really satisfying. It's so nice to come away with a pice of work you made that looks great and you can definitely use at home. I loved it and really feel like I learnt a new craft. Thank you Clare. Oh and the tea & biscuits were an absolute treat. x. "

"In a lovely space for creating, we were given not only the means but also hints and tips on how to get a great finish on our lampshades. Clare is a great teacher and it was well worth the three hour round trip to participate in this course. Thanks Clare!"

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Thank you Susan for leaving a lovely review and for travelling all that way to attend the workshop. Please send me pictures of the big lampshades you are going to make. I would love to see them. Happy Making!"

Sally Jackson reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"This was my second course with Clare for lampshade making and was as superb as my first time. Clare is an excellent tutor, friendly, informative and explains everything in great detail and is most helpful. In fact I could just keep on attending her courses! My friend, Jenni, who accompanied me this time also found the course extremely fun and thoroughly enjoyed herself too. We left with beautiful shades with many thanks to Clare.😊"

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Thank you Sally for coming to my workshop again and taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I am really pleased that you both enjoyed the workshop. Your lampshades looked fantastic!"

Lindsay Simpkins reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"Clare’s class was quite small so she was able to be hands on for helping everyone and giving them tips on how to get a professional finish. She clearly explained the process one step at a time so she didn’t overload you with information at the start. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours and I was thrilled and very surprised at how well my lampshade turned out. Would highly recommend her as a tutor. 😊"

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the workshop. Your lampshade looked fantastic, such a gorgeous fabric choice."

Pip reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"I thoroughly enjoyed making my lampshade with Clare's clear tuition and little helpful tips. Clare's a great teacher and host and I was soooo pleased with my finished lampshade. Didn't think my first attempt would turn out as well as it did. I would recommend this course to anyone, as you can never have too many lampshades and this course will make you want to make many more!! Thanks Clare."

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review Pip. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed the workshop. Your lampshade looked fantastic!"

Janet Mason reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"The workshop I attended (making a Lampshade) was very professional. Clare was such a good teacher and took us, step by step, to the finished product, which was beautiful. I am going to attend another workshop for gel printing, which I look forward to. Her workshop was a really nice environment to work in and I was amazed at the range of beautiful products she has made for sale. Well worth a go if you want to try something new."

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review Janet. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the workshop. Thank you for sending me a photo of your lampshade in situ...It looks fantastic!"

Viv Tolley reviewed: Lampshade Making Workshop with Clare Cosens

"I’m definitely not gifted when it comes to any craft skill but Clare is a patient and measured tutor and helps you through every step even when you’re lacking in confidence like me. Maybe my choice of patterned material wasn’t the best for my first attempt and I will be using plain material for my next one. However I am so pleased with the lampshade I made and I would recommend Clare’s workshop. You will leave with a fantastic lampshade and confidence to make more on your own."

Clare Cosens Designs responded:

"Many thanks for taking the time to review my workshop. Your lampshade looked great Viv! You did really well, I’m really pleased that you now have the confidence to make another lampshade. It just takes a little practice to tuck the fabric around the frame. Happy making 🙂"

"Thank you Clare for a lovely morning. Really enjoyable. Clear and understandable instructions given by Clare. Her studio is light and bright and my fellow " trainees" were very nice.

My lamp shade looks perfect in my Moroccan inspired living room."
