Maker's bio

Come and make a paper lampshade! Papershades was set up by Ros Freeborn, a paper collage artist Ros runs workshops in her studio in Muswell Hill, north London invites groups to sit around her table and discover the joy of paper collage. Workshops are relaxed and fun. You will create a design on A4 card which is then printed onto five panels of special paper. The panels are then fixed together with two unique perspex 'wheels'. Everyone goes home with a fabulous and totally original paper shade.

Gladys reviewed: Make a paper lampshade from a your own paper collage design

"This is a fabulous course which I would highly recommend. I had a great time and created an amazing lampshade which took my lamp base from zero to hero. Ros is very kind and friendly and has lots of material to stir up creative ideas. If like me you are not a creative and think you can’t produce original works of art, think again, you’ll amaze yourself and have fun. Thank you Ros for a great day."

Papershades responded:

"Thank you, Gladys, for your lovely review. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the workshop and delighted to see how cleverly you came up with a beautiful new design to go with the lamp base you brought along. We had such a fun workshop full of conversation and creativity. Perfect!! "

Sarah reviewed: Make a paper lampshade from a your own paper collage design

"Fantastic day making our lampshades. I got this as a gift to my friend and she is over the moon. Wonderful access to what feels like all the paper in the work and room to create something truly unique. Rosalind is inspirational! (And makes delicious cake!)"

Papershades responded:

"Oh, Sarah, thank you so much. I really enjoyed meeting you and Amy and you both made such amazing designs. Lovely to see how you alighted upon paper with colour and texture which really spoke to you and used collage to make something so special. Really appreciate your kind words. x"
