About this Event
Join Imogen from Bluebird Upholstery, for a William Morris lampshade making workshop at John Lewis store in Liverpool One.
During this relaxed 2 hour workshop you will be taught how to make a contemporary drum-lampshade to a professional standard, using your choice of beautiful William Morris printed fabric.
The workshop will take place in John Lewis store, in the Jan Molby Room on Floor 2. Refreshments following the workshop (hot drink & brownie) in the John Lewis Floor 3 'The Place to Eat' Restaurant are included in the ticket price.
No experience necessary and all materials and equipment will be provided. Workshop numbers are limited to 6 people, which will ensure lots of one-to one teaching time.
The finished shade will be 30cm in diameter and will be suitable for use on a table lamp, or as a pendant / ceiling shade.
You will go home with a wonderful lampshade for your home or to gift to a loved one, plus the skills to make many more!
**Please note - this workshop is not suitable for children **
