Learn how to make a 20cm drum lampshade for a small lamp or as a pendant light.
Once the technique is learned you will be armed with the knowledge to tackle larger or more complex shades.
This workshop includes a kit and a piece of fabric or paper to complete your shade, in a choice of colours/ patterns.
Please bring some sharp fabric scissors.
