6 hours Class size 1 to 3 guests       £76 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join textile artist Kate for an inspiring textile lamp workshop in Bedford where you’ll design and make your own illuminated lamp using Lutradur, decorative textile techniques, and simple sewn electronics. This is a great opportunity to blend fabric, surface design, and light, creating a striking piece that glows beautifully when finished.
Whether you’re new to textiles or already enjoy working with mixed media, you’ll be guided step by step in a supportive and encouraging environment. The session is designed to feel accessible and creative, helping you build confidence as you explore new techniques and combine art with simple technology.
What to expect:
  • Learn how to create decorative effects on Lutradur using paint sticks, acrylics, heat tools, and mixed media.
  • Use your sewing machine to add texture and special stitched details.
  • Discover how to install a switch and colour-changing LED light.
  • Gain tips for combining textiles, art, and electronics to create eye-catching illuminated pieces.
  • Work at your own pace with expert guidance throughout.
You’ll be sent a list of a few items to bring in advance, but the most important thing is your imagination and willingness to experiment. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a unique illuminated textile lamp and the confidence to continue exploring light-up effects in your own creative practice.
