Learn to make a tailored lampshade
a day of bespoke tuition to master core skills
The classic tailored lampshade has a curvy shape and a beautifully fitted cover. Variations in shape, size and style are enormous, yet the techniques remain the same.
You can learn this creative, highly versatile and useful skill in just one day. Book a day of one-to-one tuition with an expert lampshade tutor – Joanna, Mel or Naomi – in the sewing room at Traditional Upholstery School. You’ll be taught all the core skills, from binding to pattern-cutting, fitting and hand stitching, to adding the final flourish of trims.
Every stage is taught step by step to a professional standard and at your own pace. At the end of an enjoyable and rewarding day you will take home your own beautiful lampshade and the skills to make many more. This day is suitable for beginners and sew-ers alike.
Bookable on a day to suit you. This day of tuition is available to be booked for one or two people.
