Hattie Eavis Pleated Lampshade Class
Description
Hattie Eavis works as a decorative artist for domestic interiors based in East Sussex. It’s not always easy to find beautiful lampshades, so come with your own favourite fabric and let Hattie teach you how to make your own. This is not a sewing class, so it’s ideal if you love our fabrics but want to make something for the home that doesn’t involve a sewing machine!
Timings – 10– 5 (breaking one hour for lunch).
Skill level – Beginner (there is no sewing involved in this class).
What is included:
- All materials are included in the course fee, apart from fabric.
- 10% off all purchases in the shop.
- All tools you’ll need for the day will be provided.
- Plentiful supply of tea/coffee and cake.
Lunch is not included. Rye has a plentiful array of cafes to sit in or places to buy take away food. We have a large kitchen table where you can bring things back to eat or bring your own.
You will need:
Fabric for your lampshade. Hattie recommends using fine cottons for the lampshades, as this allows the light to shine through nicely. Our Indian cottons are an ideal weight, you can browse them here. Because you don’t need to pretreat your fabric for the lampshade it is fine to arrive a little earlier to pick out your cloth downstairs. Or bring something with you – if you are unsure about its suitability then do email us before hand and we can check and advise.
You will need 150cm long by 25cm wide. As Indian cottons are usually narrow at about 110cm, you will need to buy 150cm’s. If for example you are using a cloth that is wider at 150cm’s then you’d only need to buy 25cm’s.
