Make a Luxury Lampshade Workshop
Create a luxury lampshade for a table lamp in this hands-on workshop. The workshop will take place during our week-long pop up at the 1697 shop in Faversham.
You’ll make a 25 cm conical shade, carefully finished with fabric on both the outer and inner lining, and completed with your choice of trim or fringing. Carrie will guide you through each stage, sharing professional techniques to achieve a clean, high-quality finish. You’ll leave with a beautifully detailed lampshade and the skills to continue making your own at home.
A curated selection of fabrics will be available on the day, or you’re welcome to bring your own pieces of material with a minimum size of 700mm x 320mm (one piece for the interior and one for the exterior)
Workshops are kept small to ensure a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided. No previous experience is needed and all materials are provided.

“The pieces we created were genuinely beautiful and felt really special to take away. Everyone left feeling inspired, proud of what they’d made, and noticeably uplifted.” – Camille, Walnut Gilding Workshop attendee
About our pop-up at 1697
Join us for a week-long pop-up at 1697 from 13–19 July. Set within a beautifully refurbished listed building in the heart of Faversham, the space is dedicated to supporting local artists and makers, offering a place to showcase work and run independent pop-ups.
We’ll be bringing a collection of our handcrafted furniture, lighting, artwork, and homewares, all available to buy. Throughout the week, Carrie will be demonstrating traditional gilding techniques, alongside a programme of hands-on workshops in gilding and lampshade making. A chance to see the work up close, learn new skills, and take something home.
