Really, really enjoyed  the recent lampshade workshop. It was so well organised from start to finish with Niki at hand to guide us through each stage of the process. I was so impressed that I managed to get a beautiful (& professional looking) lampshade at the end. Would totally recommend this workshop  - you might even get the bug!
