Traditional soft lampshade making at ShedLight - Midlands

Vanessa is not only a wonderful teacher but a wonderful person. Well worth it. Thank you!

Thank you Vanessa for sharing your expertise and teaching us how to make lampshades for our floor lamps. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are delighted with the finished lamps ... which also have approval from our husbands! A lovely way to spend a morning.

Spent a great day with Vanessa learning lots of new skills and making a wonderful new lampshade. Vanessa is so knowledgeable, patient and lovely company.

My mum and I spent a lovely morning in Vanessa’s lampshade making workshop. Vanessa is a fantastic teacher, it is paced perfectly, and we have both already received compliments for the lampshades we made! Thank you Vanessa!

Loved this course. Vanessa is an excellent tutor. Beautiful range of fabrics to choose from. Thoroughly recommend this course to everyone.

I had a great time making a drum lampshade with ShedLight. Vanessa is an excellent teacher and brilliant at teaching online. I love the lampshade I made, it looks really professional! I'll definitely be using the skills I learnt to make more!

A lovely, relaxing, but very productive morning spent with Vanessa, really pleased with my lampshade, thoroughly enjoyed myself, would happily go again to try a different technique

I really enjoyed this course! Vanessa is brilliant! Very informative, giving very clear instructions and demonstrations! such a lovely lady! I even purchased a kit (which I completed last night to make sure I hadn't forgotten any of the skills Vanessa had taught me haha) Would highly recommend.

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!

Attended a course back in March, and it was such a good day.

I really enjoyed the approach to teaching and we were both so proud to leave with our finished lampshades, which now both have pride of place in our home.

I fully intend to make another at some point :)

Thank you for such a good day.

Just a lovely relaxing way to spend a few hours learning something new. Vanessa is a very patient and skilful tutor and my daughter and I were very pleased with our new lampshades, Vanessa giving us the confidence to have a go on our own at home. Would definitely recommend this workshop and it was good to see all the Covid safety precautions in place too in these worrying times.

Vanessa was great. She had just done a covid course so the room and safety was set out to protect everyone, she even has visors for each person. The choice of fabric is amazing. I made a tall floor lamp and it's beautiful. So professionally finished off under the tutoring of Vanessa. She was so helpful and full of tips. She is so approachable and friendly. It is easy to find as well as it's just off M54. I can now successfully make my own.

I have just spent a vey enjoyable morning making a lampshade and am very happy with the professional looking result! Vanessa was very patient and it was a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I wouldn't have been able to produce such a succesful lampshade without the careful guidance of Vanessa.
I would recommend this course and would make a great Christmas gift.

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!

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.

Top-notch course from a top-notch lady. Not only was Vanessa good at what she does but she is also attentive to your needs and personable. Had a wonderful time and educative. Thanks vanessa.

The course was educative and insightful and vanessa had all the time in the world to answer all my questions. It was money well spent and had an enjoyable time. My lampshade came out so well than expected. Thanks vanessa.

I attended the course today with my niece and we both had a fab morning making our lampshades. The end results looked quite professional ( a surprise to both of us!!) Vanessa was absolutely lovely, very helpful and supportive throughout. Would recommend to everyone 😊

Excellent instruction and some lovely fabrics to choose from. Even my hubby was impressed with the end result which is a great accolade :)
Thank you Vanessa; I may well be back with a friend :)

Brilliant morning spent with Vanessa and my daughters are overjoyed with their new lights. Thankyou
