Using a selection of vintage Ordnance Survey maps, create your very own sculptural lampshade.
About this Event

Under the careful guidance of designer/maker Florence, you will be shown how to hand-manipulate a selection of Ordnance Survey* maps to create a beautiful geometric shade. Each shade will be completely unique and can be used with a table lampstand or as a small ceiling shade.


*For this workshop you can request specific map locations - perhaps of a special place you live in or love to visit

Please make these requests no later than 2 weeks before the workshop date (email [email protected] to arrange this)

Be aware that the maps will be cut up as part of the construction process. Alternatively, you can use the general Ordnance Survey map selection provided by Florence.


You can check out more of Florence's work here.

Please note - this workshop is suitable for beginners but they must be 18+

If you have any access, mobility or other health issues which you think could impact your experience of the workshop, do to let us know in advance and we will aim to make reasonable adjustments where possible, to ensure you have a positive experience.

We request resonable notice of at least 2 working days to be able to action any adjustments.

Any information disclosed to Swarthmore will be relayed to the workshop facilitator.
