I attended a lampshade making workshop with Helen Round at Maker Heights last month and found it a fulfilling, interesting and totally enjoyable experience . There were 8 ladies on the course and 2 tutors in a spacious workshop. All materials had been laid out, refreshments were provided and we were gently guided through the making process. There was a very positive friendly atmosphere, no rush and we were all delighted with our creations- I would highly recommend this workshop- Helen is a kind and helpful tutor and. and I’d love to do another workshop one day.
Hi Helen,
A rather belated email to say thank you so much for the brilliant workshop last Saturday. I know I can speak for Margo and Sam too, we had a really wonderful time and were all very pleased with our creations.
Best wishes.
Helen’s workshop is wonderful- She is a calm, positive and encouraging instructor. It is so satisfying to learn a new skill and I am extremely proud of my two very professional looking lampshades.
I brought my own fabric to use but when I saw Helen’s exquisite hand printed linens I quickly changed my mind. The hardest part was choosing which colour and pattern to use.
Thank you Helen for generously sharing your skill and expertise with me.
I really enjoyed the half-day workshop, thoroughly absorbed in creating two beautiful lampshades that I have put to immediate use at home. Lovely fabrics to choose from and the shades look very professional so I was very pleased with them. Thanks Helen!
