It’s a perfect chance to experiment! You will be able to choose your own lampshade form using either a kit or your own ring set\, which may be from an existing lampshade you wish to up-cycle and re-cover. We will also look at traditional lampshade frames and how to cover them. In two days you will be able to make enough felt for a minimum of two lampshades\, at least one of which will be completed on the second day.\nThere will be an opportunity to participate in a bulk material purchase for kits\, ring sets\, and specialist backing materials\, according to your needs. Further information about this will be given on booking.\nPlease note that there will be additional material costs for this workshop apart from the wool and fibres that you provide yourself.
