• Learn how to make a gorgeous drum lampshade in Jenny's two hour workshop. You'll be able to choose a 20cm or 30cm diameter shade frame to hang from the ceiling or place on a lamp-stand. Suitable for complete beginners; no sewing required.
  You can either bring your own fabric or purchase some of Jenny's fabric (in either Lemons, Lobster Pot, Bass & Hook or Clams at a special Workshop Price). Please select your option in the drop down menu when making the booking.
  If bringing your own fabric, you’ll need to bring half a metre of fabric with you; nothing too heavy, textured or with any embellishments please. A plain or printed cotton or linen works beautifully.

  Please also bring a large plastic bag to take your lampshade safely home in!

  Jenny will be providing some snacks and hot drinks for the workshop, but please do feel free to bring along a drink/bottle, if you'd prefer.
