Fancy spending a few hours making something beautiful? In this hands-on lampshade-making workshop, held at Starling Studio on Havelock Road in Fiveways, Brighton – a creative space shared by independent makers and tutors – you'll create your own deco domed lampshade from scratch, finished with braid and tassel trim for that classic vintage look. No experience necessary, and you'll be guided through every stage of the process.
What you'll do:
  • Browse a curated selection of vintage-style fabrics, both patterned and plain, and choose the one that speaks to you – or bring your own, just message first to check it'll work with the frame and technique
  • Learn an approachable, beginner-friendly lampshade-making technique, covering everything from measuring and cutting your fabric to fitting it neatly over the deco domed frame
  • Add the finishing touches with braid and tassel trim, giving your shade that polished, vintage-inspired edge
  • Take home a one-of-a-kind lampshade, made entirely by you, the very same day
Morning sessions run first, with afternoon spots added on as they fill up, so it's worth booking in early if a particular time suits you best. Whether you're after a stylish addition to your own home or a handmade gift with real character, you'll leave with a piece that's every bit as functional as it is beautiful.
What you'll get
  • Deco domed frame.
  • Curated fabric and trim.
  • Full tuition.
  • Tea, coffee and a treat.

I am a skilled lampshade maker and have been expertly designing and manufacturing lampshades since 2014. I have been running regular lampshade making and fairy light making workshops in Brighton for over 5 years, and love to teach others all the techniques I have gathered other the years.
