Learn to make a gathered lampshade
a one day workshop to master core skills




Gathered shades are possibly the most popular in interiors right now. They look gorgeous in a huge range of fabrics, from luxurious silks to vintage prints... and there's plenty of scope for creativity.
On this wonderful one-day workshop you'll make your own gathered shade in your fabric, and all the skills to make many more. Your expert tutors Joanna or Naomi will teach you all the core skills, from binding the frame to hand stitching the gathers in place. You’ll learn how to fit both an informal pleated or a balloon lining, and finish with a smart bias trim.
Every stage is taught step by step to a professional standard. At the end of an enjoyable and rewarding day you will take home your own beautiful lampshade and the skills to make many more. This day is suitable for beginners and sew-ers alike.
