About this class
Roomlight Studio lampshade workshop:
Beautiful lampshades are difficult to find and creative minds have their very own ideas about what a finished lamp should look like anyway. That's why we'll show you how to make lampshades yourself so that you can create your own signature shade for your lamp. We produce drum-shaped umbrellas ranging in size from Ø 15 x h 20 cm up to ø 25 x h 25 cm. Larger sizes can also be arranged in advance. We provide you with a selection of papers, fabrics, films and ribbons or fringes.
You can either attach the manufactured lampshades to the ceiling as a pendant lamp or screw onto the socket of a table lamp as a shade. If you want to make a new shade for an existing lamp base, it's best to bring it to the workshop. If you want a table lamp but don't yet have a lamp base, you can buy a small lamp base from us.
What you’ll do in the class
We start the workshop with the opportunity to try out different sizes of finished lampshades on the foot we have brought along. Once the size decision has been made, it is time to select the materials. We offer a wide variety of fabrics and papers that are glued onto a special hard PVC film. After selection, the material is cut to size and glued. We then roll the glued film onto special rings. This is followed by detailed work: Papers or fabrics must be folded inwards and pushed under the rings with a special tool. If you want, you can then reach into the box with the decorative ribbons - or attach a fringe border.
Who is the class suitable for?
The course described here is suitable for adults. Groups of up to 6 people are possible. If we have an even larger group for the workshop, we will have to move to another room. We offer courses for children in our own workshop format.
