Workshops

I teach a variety of lampshade making techniques, either as group classes or one-to-one. Details of all of my current classes are listed below (and on my Instagram page), or you can contact me via this website if you would like to find our more or enquire about making a booking.

I also offer one-to-one lampshade making tuition in all of the main disciplines (gathered, pleated and tailored). Each skill takes two days to learn, at a cost of £180 per day. Tuition can also be tailored to your exact requirements.

All of my courses are held at my workshop in Bath: The Long Barn, Manor Farm Buildings, Southstoke Lane, Bath BA2 7PQ. There is plenty of parking on site and the workshop is wheelchair accessible.

From time to time I also teach courses at West Dean College (all info and booking details can be found on their website) and at Master The Art (please see their website for dates and booking info).

For all Bath based courses, students should bring a basic sewing kit (scissors, needles, pins, tape measure, thimble), their own choice of top fabric (one metre of full width fabric will be sufficient) and a sewing machine if they have one. Unless otherwise stated, I will supply frames and plain ivory cotton lining fabric. 

2025 Update:

At present, I am taking a break from teaching to concentrate on commissions and other projects. I will be back in the Summer with more dates for Bath. Until then, these are my current courses for 2025:

West Dean: Tailored Lampshades, 12-14 March 2025

Master The Art: Gathered Lampshades, 13-14 October 2025
