January 30th Lampshade Workshop in Pawlet, Vermont at Lake's Lampshades
is just around the corner. 11am- 5ish. $150 includes all materials except fabric. I have several students signed up but have room for a couple more. If you are worried about the weather this time of year.... it's sunny today, but if the weather is bad I can slip you into a class at another time.
If cabin fever is settling in:
come play with fabrics and glue. Everyone gets to leave with a finished lampshade, an instant satisfaction or at least a well earned one! My students are always super proud of themselves after they finish their shades. I love to see everyone's finished product.
Often Students will pick up supplies for a couple of shades after the class:
this is handy to go home with enough to make a shade right away.... and remember how the heck you did it.
Some students come to start a business, some come for a day of creativity and others come to learn to remake all their own lampshades...
who knows maybe it will turn into a business, just like mine obsession did. I didn't start making lampshades to turn it into a business, but look 20 plus years later!!
It's a nice way to use a vintage treasure from your attic.
I always encourage recycling stained tablecloths, an unframed needlepoint, an old crewel pillow who knows what you might have stowed away. I had a Pierre Deux skirt that turned into 3 lampshades!
hope you can come,

Hi- I wish you were closer to me! I bought your book and hope to try this on my own! I have a huge stash of vintage tablecloths and fabric to use. Love your creativity! You are an inspiration!

Hi Kim,Let me know if you get stuck! The key is to experiment with your favorite textiles. The first one wont be perfect, but use it as your practice one.judy
