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 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.
