THE BIIIIIIG STATEMENT SHADE MAKING WORKSHOP

DUE TO DEMAND .... we're doing it all again

STATEMENT LAMPSHADE WORKSHOP

DUE TO DEMAND ... we're back to make MORE fabulous BIIIIIG 40cm shades !

This time with a choice of TWELVE Gillian Park exclusive fabric designs in my signature Labrador Lug velvet!!!!!

Saturday 11th July - 11am-1pm
Harbour Arts Centre, Harbour Street, Irvine

Choose from the super popular Edge of Autumn range, Hayfield Daisies, Golden Hour, Elderberry Wine, Coral Reef, Sunflowers, Daffodils, Peonies or Spring Florals ... 

We'll be making a proper 40cm whopper of a shade — bold, unapologetic and absolutely dripping in colour. This size of shade is suitable for:

  • A standard lamp
  • A large lampbase
  • A ceiling pendant

In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, you’ll create ONE large statement lampshade using one of my TWELVE signature velvet fabrics in one of my own designs - you can't get this anywhere else!! 

If you prefer to use your own fabric, you're welcome to bring that along - and get a refund of £10

No experience needed — I’ll guide you step-by-step with plenty of banter and a good laugh along the way.

A few hours later you’ll be heading home smug as anything with a proper showstopper ready to light up your space and everyone will be asking WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!


What’s included

Everything you need to make ONE 40cm drum lampshade

Choice of twelve exclusive velvet fabrics from my interiors range

Full step-by-step guidance (you’ll be amazed how easy it is)

All lampshade materials and kit

A relaxed, creative few hours with plenty blether and banter

A big, bold, beautiful lampshade to take home and show off


All you need to bring is a pair of scissors.

…and fair warning — once you’ve made one of these, your other lampshades may possibly look a wee bit drab 😆
