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.
