About the Course
Have you ever wanted to make a lampshade to match your soft furnishings, or transform that piece of vintage fabric into something useful?
This relaxed and supportive 3 hour, morning or afternoon workshop, introduces you to the simple techniques and tools required to make a basic 30cms drum lampshade (other sizes/heights available by prior arrangement). A range of attractive modern/vintage/African cotton print fabrics are available for you to choose from.
Cannot make it to me? For a minimum of 2 people I am happy to travel to you for a workshop in your own home within a 10 mile radius (mileage in excess of this would incur travel expenses).
Hen do? Are you looking for an alternative fun afternoon.......special offer of a free afternoon tea included in the price with a minimum of 10 students attending.
The courses are relaxed so you can work at your own pace with plenty of friendly support and guidance.
If booking with a CraftCourses voucher for part or all of the course fee, please fill in the contact form above. Your voucher code must be provided at the point of booking.
What's included in the price?
Endless tea, coffee and biscuits are available plus a 30cm diameter Drum Lampshade kit with fabric, and use of my tools. Embellishments like braiding or additional kits are an extra cost.
As a complete beginner I came away from this half day course on drum lampshade making absolutely delighted with the lovely lampshade I had made under Vanessa's tuition. She guided us through all steps of the process and calmly helped to correct a mistake I had made so it was invisible on the finished product.
Vanessa also advised me on how to recreate a shade for a lamp I retrieved when clearing my late father's house. It will be much treasured. Thank you!

Thank you Julie I am so pleased you enjoyed your lampshade course and left with a beautiful completed product. It was also a pleasure to advise you on your late fathers lamp and I hope it all goes to plan - you have my email address if you get stuck.Brilliant day with Vanessa doing both this course and the soft lamp shade course - learned loads in a lovely atmosphere, had great fun in the process and have two fabulous shades to bring home plus the skills to make my own at home. Highly recommended.
