This is a friendly informal 2 hour (ish) workshop, maximum 4 participants, with Jackie from Brits Love Vintage Interiors shop in Oxford Street Whitstable.
This class is perfect for beginners who want to learn how to make a contemporary lampshade. From choosing fabrics to applying the lampshade laminate to get the best out of your fabric, attaching the rings and creating neat hand rolled edges, with no sewing required.
