What

Participants will not only be going home with their own fabulous bespoke lampshade, but will get a thorough grounding into the craft of modern lampshade making (where the fabric is bonded to a stiff lining).

There is no sewing involved in this method - and the materials used are professional shademaking supplies as used in the industry.

Your tutor is professional lampshade maker Kate Malfroy, who runs workshops from her south coast studio, and other locations around NSW.
