The Course
The 3 day course is suitable for complete beginners or those with art experience.
All materials are provided and you will leave with 2 lampshades ready to put up at home. As with all our courses, the subject is a vehicle for learning different artistic skills that build our technical tool kit. Do bring a sketchbook if you have one. There are a limited number of artisan wooden bases here that you can purchase if you wish to, at cost.
- Considering design - we will look at possible lampshade styles and learn how the colours and designs we choose can enhance your existing furnishings and rooms
- We will practise painting in fabric paints and learn layering and different brush technique to make unique patterns
- We will sketch out our ideas and colours to develop our thoughts
- We will paint our lampshades on flat fabric
- We will make our fabric up into lampshades ready to take home!
Suitable for complete beginners and those who have painted before and wish to rekindle their desire to paint again and brush up on the basic techniques. No drawing skills required.
Coffee, cake and a delicious home cooked, healthy lunch with wine are included.
Arrive from 9.30am, for coffee before a 10am start. The day finishes at 4.30pm.
