Lampshade making - no set dates, but are always run on Fridays, 10:00 - 13:00
Sarah from Lollipop Lampshades runs infrequent but incredibly popular lampshade making workshops. They are always held on Fridays from 10:00 to 13:00 despite there never being a definite date for when they take place throughout the year. It's therefore always a good idea to keep an eye on here, and our Facebook page, for future classes; there are only 6 spots available and have previously sold out in a matter of days! All you need is just 50 cm of the fabric of your choice; Sarah will provide the rest. For further information about nearby car parks, ready to use on the day of your visit, please head to our Contact page.
*Please take into consideration before booking, that this workshop is for making drum lampshades only, without contrast inner linings.
