Excellent teacher who made every participant feel at home. She was most helpful & provided quality materials & easy to follow instructions. Highly recommend!
Carol Moroney • Jun 2021
Great teacher Nicola, and a beautiful space to hold a class at the Handmaker’s Factory. Lampshade class was easy to follow and came home with a fabulous shade. Will definitely do another class, has so many different classes on offer.
Karin Bouvin • Jun 2021
The teacher was great and easy to follow. The materials were of really good quality. The class was great value for money, especially considering the cost of materials used. I had a great morning crafting with likeminded people. Our teacher was really knowledgable and shared her skills and handy tips.
Nikki Garrard • Jun 2021
Great class with a lovely and knowledgeable instructor. Came away with a beautiful lampshade that I could use

I learnt a lot at this session and came out with a lovely looking lampshade. Appreciated that the teacher also provided printed instructions so we could try making more lampshades in our own time.
Mandy Boyd • Apr 2021
Enjoyed the class Looking forward to making lots of lampshades. Thankyou. Would love to learn a cone shape
Jenny Nicholls • Jan 2021
Everything was excellent. Loved the class. Very happy with what I learnt and finished product.
Karen Wolton • Jan 2021
Nicola was a fantastic teacher, and the studio was wonderful - light and airy! All equipment was of good quality and we all went home with beautiful lampshades!
Georgina McColl • Dec 2020
Making a lampshade to a decent standard in 1.5 hours turns out to be pretty straightforward - but there are techniques, tools and tips it was great to learn in person. For example, a surprising amount of brute strength is involved, which I would have never dared on my own. Great venue, small class, and teacher Nicole, an ex-commercial lampshade maker, was ace.
Jillian Adams • Dec 2020

What a great class! So good to go into class with a small piece of fabric and emerge with a fabulous lampshade!
Robyne McGowan • Sep 2019
Great teacher, good easy to follow instruction, thoroughly enjoyed it. Came away with a lovely lampshade.
