During this two and a half hour Milly & Monty Lampshade Making Workshop you will learn how to make a beautiful Drum Lampshade. Your creation will be made to a professional standard, for less than the cost of a quality High Street lampshade. You will leave with a one-of-a-kind piece, the skills to go on to make more, having had a very cheery time indeed!

Workshop Content
· All lampshade component parts and required tools will be supplied. (You are welcome to bring your own favourite or left-handed fabric scissors).
· Preparing your space, lampshade kit, tools and fabric.
· Positioning fabric, accommodating for any pattern repeat.
· Adhering the fabric to the white lampshade laminate panel.
· Preparing the lampshade rings, rolling them onto the panel, tucking the fabric in, closing the seam and finishing the shade to a professional standard.
· Discussion on other lampshade shapes and sizes, double-sided lampshades, adding trimmings, choosing different coverings and how to re-make a lampshade.
· The 30cm Drum Lampshade (30cm Wide x 20cm High) is very versatile and can be used with a table lamp, floor lamp or ceiling pendant. Own fabric required: Lower-medium weight fabric. 100cm Width x 25cm Length.
· The 40cm Drum Lampshade (40cm Wide x 25cm High) is perfect for use with a floor lamp or ceiling pendant. Own fabric required: Lower-medium weight fabric. 132cm Width x 30cm Length.
If your fabric is patterned, you may need a longer length of fabric in order to ‘centre’ the pattern - please get in touch if you have any questions about your fabric choice.
Avoid velvet and wool as they can be temperamental. Cotton and linen are ideal for lampshade making.
We’ll have a short break around halfway through for a comfort break and complementary refreshments.
