How do I know which course is right for me? All our courses are suitable for beginners and those with some experience in lampshade making. No sewing experience is required, as you will be taught everything in class. Our one-to-one workshops are popular as the course can be tailored to your level and needs. You’ll learn a new craft at your own pace and receive business advice and trade tips to help turn your skills into a business.
