What a wonderful lockdown treat this was. I had a lovely morning online with my daughter learning how to make a lampshade. Vanessa was a great teacher, she guided us through the various stages with patience and enthusiasm. It was relaxing and fun, and I am thrilled with my finished lampshade, which now helps to light up my kitchen beautifully. I highly recommend Vanessa's courses, you wont be disappointed!
