Choose Your Fabric (or BYO)
The beauty of making your own shade is you can use whatever fabulous fabric you love. No boring beige shades here! You can BYO fabric or choose from a small selection on the day (additional cost of $15.00 - $25.00).
Hand Build Your Ceramic Base
Hilary from Hilary Jones Ceramics will guide you through the process to create your lamp base using hand building techniques.
Rock and Roll Your Lamp Shade
While your base is drying off a bit, Jac from lampelier will guide you through the steps to rock and roll your own colourful lampshade.
Add the Finishing Touches to Your Base
Your base has now had a little bit of time to relax and dry out a bit which allows you to do some final tweaking to finish it off.
Select Your Glaze
You can select from one of three glazes that will work with the fabric of your shade.
Fire and Wire
You can take your shade home on the day. Your base needs to hang with us so we can fire, glaze and wire it up!
