Learn how to make a professionally finished, traditional gathered or empire lampshade  across 2 days at one of our upholstery workshops in Norwich or Spalding. This lampshade-making workshop is suitable for experienced or non-experienced upholsterers alike. Classes are informal and tuition will be given to guide you through your lampshade-making project. 

​

The frame and lining for your lampshade are supplied as well as all the materials and tools you will need for this course, apart from your outside fabric. The frame supplied is a 25cm straight-sided empire frame with a fitting for a table lamp. You will need to bring your own outside fabric suitable for your project - cotton lawn or Liberty Tana Lawn-style fabrics work well with this style of shade. You will need approximately 1 metre of fabric.

You can come along to any of the upholstery classes in Spalding or Norwich to make a lampshade across 2 days - please see the full list of dates below.

NOTES: This workshop includes a constant flow of refreshments, however, lunch is not included and so please bring a packed lunch with you.
