Join local maker Kala Paul-Worika for this hands-on lampshade making class in Leyton and create a beautiful new addition for your home. Whether you're looking to brighten up your own space or want to craft a heartfelt, handmade gift, this workshop is the perfect place to start.
Working in a relaxed and supportive environment, you'll learn how to construct a professional-quality drum lampshade from scratch. You can choose from a lovely selection of materials provided on the day, or feel free to bring your own fabric (approximately 70cm x 28cm) to match your existing decor. Medium-weight cotton is the way to go here, as it's easy to work with and ensures a crisp finish.
Kala will be by your side to guide you through every part of the process, ensuring you feel confident as you assemble your piece. It's a wonderful opportunity to switch off from the daily grind, meet some like-minded people, and enjoy a morning or afternoon of pure making.
During this session, you'll cover:
  • Hand-craft your lampshade – Master the simple step-by-step techniques to create a 20cm diameter drum lampshade.
  • Fabric selection and prep – Learn how to work with different textiles to achieve the best results.
  • Finishing flourishes – Pick up expert tips from Kala to ensure your final piece looks polished and store-ready.
You'll finish the session with a sense of creative empowerment and a gorgeous 20cm diameter (18cm high) lampshade to take home. There are plenty of refreshments like tea, coffee, and biscuits to keep the ideas flowing while you work.
Please note: If you're interested in making a larger 25cm diameter lampshade instead, please email ahead of time to let us know.

Having my own business is the chance to bring my love of African print and ankara fabric to a wider audience.
It all began with evenings making bibs on my sewing machine in the dining room – creating unique handmade gifts for friends and family.
What first started as a welcome break from the pressures of the office, soon turned into a passion to introduce the vibrancy and versatility of the material to an appreciative customer base.
Now my brand By Kala X is a thriving clothing and home decor brand, while I also share my skills through a variety of workshops - from Make Your Own Lampshade to upcycling denim sessions.
I've taken my workshops to both schools and large corporations, where they have been received very positively.
