Description
On this one day workshop ideal for beginners we will be making a straight-sided cylinder willow lampshade. The willow lampshade is a unique and natural lighting accessory. Known for its natural and organic appeal, the lampshade you make will showcase the beauty of willow, to create a stylish and charming piece to light up any room. We will work from a jig and incorporate different traditional basketry weaves and use a trac border at each end. The lampshade will be suitable to hang or use on a table lamp. A variety of willows will be available for adding colour to your shade should you want to. All materials including lampshade fitting and tools will be provided, however there is an additional fee of £15 for the materials for your basket. Please bring this in cash and pay to the tutor on the day. Fee includes tuition and hot drinks throughout the day. Tutor: Jane Welsh
