Your covering needs to be 970mm wide x 255mm to cover the self-adhesive panel supplied. We recommend that you don't bring along too heavy a weight fabric for your first lampshade, not stretchy cotton is perfect for beginners!
We can recommend getting your fabric from our neighbours at Fabric Bazaar or Mandor’s in the City Centre.
You’ll also have the opportunity to buy your own lampshade making kits to use at home after the workshop too.

My friend and I did this lamp making class recently. It was very informative but relaxed. Our tutor was knowledgeable and helpful. Thoroughly recommend it!
