Gathered lampshade workshop

In this two-day workshop you will learn all the skills needed to make a wonderful gathered lampshade, and will be able to go on to make more for yourself or to make them professionally. You will be taught how to:

Gather your fabric, heeding pattern and positioning - you will learn two methods for this
Hand sew this onto the frame (you need no previous experience but a love of or big interest in hand sewing is key!)
Make a balloon lining and position this into the frame and hand sew in place
Make your base and top ring bias trims and (yes you guessed it!) hand sew these into position

You will also be shown how to make a variety of other trims for your lampshade.

This two day workshop is taught at either Clothkits (in Chichester West Sussex) or in a small group class at my studio, please see dates. thank you.
