I had the first Drum Shade Workshop a couple of weeks ago. They were all great sports; it was the first time offering this class. There are several different ways of making drum shades which we discussed. We all made a drum shade that was 12" top by 12" bottom by 8 high or so. I also showed how to Re-cover an old empire shade as a bonus.
The photo here is from Mary at the Whistle Stop Antique Shop in Burlington; she took a Fabric Paneled Shade Workshop 2 weeks ago. I think this is only the first of many shades Mary will be making. This class was one of the greatest groups of ladies yet. Not only were they talented, but they had lots to say and shared their life stories. I am beginning to learn that my workshops are more than just making lampshades. The part I enjoy most is hearing everyone's stories and careers adventures and of course sharing my knowledge as a lampshade maker.
Hi Interior Staging,
not sure if you will see this... sort of confusing as I switched blog host. I am headed on vacation and do not have time to take a picture, but I used a washer drum-one with the hole and added a clip adapter and finial and stuck it on upside down. easy as pie. Height was short, only 6" so it doesn't hit the ceiling.
hope you see this,
judy
I'll be back in the shop March 28th if you want to call.
