Fall Foliage Fabric Lampshade Workshops in Pawlet,
Vermont at my shop
I have finally put pen to calendar and set 3 fall workshop dates. Things will be busy this fall with book being released August 18th. Oh, I am so excited for everyone to see it. Most of my friends are flabbergasted how long it takes to get a book on the shelves. They've seen me trudging around town carrying a heavy load and trying to keep it all together. There were times last summer my friend Elizabeth would say, "Judy you should really take a day off.... ", and I would say, "I know, but..." putting the book together was an amazing experience. I have been truly humbled and continue to be so. All the things one learns in a year on book making and probably did wrong the first time...
Okay, back to the fall workshops. THESE ARE SINGLE CLASSES NOT A SERIES and you will come away with all the basics for making a paneled, hardback lampshade.
Dates:
September 30th, Wednesday 11am-4pm cost $150 at Lake's Lampshades
October 14th, Wednesday 11am-4pm cost $150 at Lake's Lampshades
October 27th, Tuesday 11am-4pm cost $150 at Lake's Lampshades
Workshop notes: You will learn all the basics and lots of tips on making hard back paneled lampshades. I share lots of sources, wholesale and retail. Though out the class I will show lots of ideas on making shades as well as tips on fitting the right shade, all the tricks of the trade. The class is a fun day to roll up your selves and unravel your creativity. Some students will go on to start a business and others have fun making one shade. Many go on to fill their home with all new lampshades and think how much money they saved!
Bring your grannies old dresser scarves or needlepoint and make a new shade for your home or office. All supplies are included in class except fabric. Bring vintage or new fabric, funky or classic.
Reservations are a must due to limited class size. Please email me or call the shop with any questions. [email protected] or 802-325-6308.
