3 hours Location Comes to you Class size 3 to 10 guests   $150 ($180 per guest when you book for 3+ guests, $150/guest for 3+ guests) (Afterpay available)

A bespoke lampshade has the unique ability to change the mood of a room in an instant. Learn how to create yours at this custom lampshade making class.
With all base materials supplied and under the guided tutelage of Deb, you will learn all the skills necessary to make a drum lampshade. This is a beginner-friendly workshop so don't worry if you're new to this!
All you need to bring is your choice of fabric (70cm x 30cm), if the fabric has a directional print, 30cm is the height (pattern will be vertical across the 30cm).
When selecting fabric, keep in mind that natural fibres with a tight weave and a medium weight are optimal. If the fabric is too fine, it is hard to keep smooth; too heavy, and it is hard to get a neat turned finish. Additional lampshade kits are also available to purchase on the day.
Class sizes are kept small to ensure plenty of individual assistance.
This class is great for individuals and couples. Private group bookings are also available on request.
For mobile classes a surcharge may apply

  • 5/5 from Chris Cao, attended May 2024: Meeting Deborah was kismet, I’d always wanted to know more about lamp shade and decided one night that I was going to look for classes. And just like that, like a gift from the universe Deborah magically appeared in my life less than 24hrs later. Well I had my class today and I walked in with no expectations, but just came in with an open mind and a willingness to give it a go. Deb’s open heart and her personable nature made this class engaging, educational and fun. I thoroughly recommend this call to anyone who enjoys creating things and working with their hands. Thank you Deborah :)
  • 5/5 from Jasmin Lin, attended May 2024: I cannot sing Deborah praises enough, what an amazing class. This class was a follow up from the flower stamping class, which i decided to maket into a lampshade. Deborah explanations were easy to follow. I got a horrible lamp as a present, thanks to Deborah, it has become something that I am proud to display.
  • 5/5 from Sandy Vasovic, attended Apr 2024: Had the best time doing the lamp shade workshop with Deb. Deb is professional, personable and patient. Her eclectic taste widens your view of what is possible. Inspired to do more with Deb down the track.

Hi I'm Deb, Owner, Designer and Maker and workshop host!
Coming from a long family history of creativity it's no surprise I started working for a sewing machine company at age 20, then at 24 I opened my own sewing shop.
A few years later I thought I would give the corporate world a try and got stuck there for almost 20 years (all the while making clothes and costumes for my children) until a chronic illness diagnosis rescued me!
Completing my Cert IV in Design and a Diploma in Surface Design rekindled my creativity and I now offer you the opportunity to create beautiful, mindful pieces. With a focus on sustainability and repurposing reclaimed textiles.
