Learn to make a tailored lampshade

a one day workshop to master core skills 

The classic tailored lampshade has a curvy shape and a beautifully fitted cover. Variations in shape, size and style are huge yet the techniques remain the same.

Book a day of 1-2-1 tuition to learn all the core techniques for how to make a tailored lampshade. Based in the dedicated Sewing Room at Traditional Upholstery School your expert lampshade tutors Joanna or Naomi will teach you each stage step-by-step. Everything you need will be provided, including a broad choice of lampshade frames. At the end of this wonderfully creative and rewarding day you will take home your own impressive handmade tailored shade in your own choice of fabric… and importantly all the skills to make many more.

This day is suitable for one, two or three students. All you need to bring is fabric to cover your shade. Suitable for beginners and experienced sew-ers alike. Further details available by clicking the link below.​
