What

Participants will not only be going home with their own fabulous, unique shade, but will get a thorough grounding into the art of bonded lampshade making (ie: the fabric is bonded to the stiff lining). 

You can choose to make either a drum shape or tapered (Empire) shape shade in a choice of sizes (S, M, L and XL) - options shown at checkout.

When

In this beginner-level workshop there is a min 3/max 8 students so you are guaranteed personal attention.

It is followed by the Lampshade Makeover Workshop, so if you want to have a whole day of lampshade luxury, then you're very welcome to join us for both workshops (and there's a discount for signing up for both on the same day!)

Difficulty

No prior knowlegde, or skills are required.  I'll be taking you step by step through each stage of the process - although it is a little fiddly - I'll be doing my best to make this as easy and fun as possible!

What's included

All the supplies you'll need are included (except fabric*).. this includes professional quality adhesive backings, frames, and tools.

Morning tea (with homemade yummies) is included.

What to bring

You can either BYO fabric*, or purchase here. I have a huge stash of quality fabrics, as well as sample books from a range of Australian and international fabric houses. If you'd like a particular fabric you've seen elsewhere I can probably order it for you with a minimum of 3weeks notice.

If you have a pair of good fabric scissors please bring them, but no worries if you don't (we have plenty).

Please bring an old credit, or store loyalty card (something that doesn't matter if it gets a bit bent).

What else

Kits are available to purchase if you'd like to turn your lampshade into a pair, or another size/shape entirely.

Lampshade supplies, and fabrics are also available to purchase on the day.

Please either bring cash or your credit card/phone to pay.

Cancellation 

Due to the difficulties of refilling short-notice vacancies in small-group workshops:

• 14 days or more before the workshop full refund (or credit if you prefer)
• 14 - 7 days before the workshop – 50% refund, or credit
• 7-0 days before the workshop, sorry - No refund
• Workshop tickets are fully transferrable, so if you can't make it - it's fine to pass it on to a friend to come instead

Following booking an info sheet will be emailed to you with all the details about our location, what to bring and more.  If you have further questions please don't hesitate to contact me via the Contact form.
