Design, Print and Make Your Own Lampshade
£ 60 gbp
Working from hundreds of beautifully curated, nature-inspired vintage motifs, you will create your own unique fabric design, print it onto specialist lightbox-effect satin fabric, and make it into a professionally finished lampshade to take home.
Gillian will guide you step by step, helping you build a balanced and visually striking design using colour, composition, scale and layout. The lightbox-effect fabric shows the full colour saturation of your design when the lampshade is lit, making the colours rich, vibrant and beautifully glowing.
Once your fabric has been printed, you will learn how to turn it into a finished lampshade using a professional construction method.
You will leave with:
• A lampshade designed, printed and made by you
• Practical design and composition skills
• An understanding of fabric printing for interiors
• Confidence in a professional lampshade-making method
For a small additional fee, there is also the option to upgrade to a complete table lamp with light fitting, ready to switch on at home.
All materials are provided, including your lampshade frame, printed fabric, making materials and full access to Gillian’s extensive motif library.
