Print & Make A Lampshade Workshop

Block Print Your Own Lamp

You'll leave with a lampshade you've designed and built yourself — a rare thing in an age of flat-pack everything. This full-day workshop at Lechlade Craft Barn combines two satisfying making skills: block printing and lampshade construction, so you're learning proper craft technique while creating something genuinely useful.

The day runs 10am to 4pm with time to experiment with block printing patterns onto fabric, then move on to stretching and assembling your printed material into a working lampshade — the kind that actually casts nice light rather than being purely decorative.

It suits anyone who's ever wanted to make something for their home but wasn't sure where to start, or crafters looking to add lampshade-making to their toolkit. Bring a packed lunch or grab something from nearby, and expect to get your hands properly dirty with ink and fabric.

Run by the Lechlade Craft Barn team, it's ticketed and popular, so book ahead.
