Create Your Own Custom Lampshade — Fun, Creative & Hands-On

Lampshade Workshop

Ready to light up your space with something truly unique? Our Lamp Shades Workshop at The Sourpuss Emporium invites you to design and craft your own bespoke lampshade in a relaxed, friendly studio environment. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a maker looking to try something new, this hands-on creative class gives you step-by-step support to make a shade you’ll be proud of.

🌟 What You’ll Do

In this full-day workshop (11 am-4 pm), you’ll:

• Choose your fabrics and trims — bring your own or pick from those available.

• Learn how to prepare and cut your fabric for the shade frame.

• Discover simple techniques for applying fabric to structure and finishing edges cleanly.

• Create a one-off lampshade to take home and enjoy in your living space or gift to someone special.

You can repurpose fabrics from thrift stores or use your favourite personal stash — this workshop is all about creativity and personal style.

📅 Available Options

Choose from upcoming workshop dates with options to either:

• Use one of ours: We provide a lamp frame for an extra $20.

• Bring your own shade frame: Work with a shape you already have — perfect for upcycling.

• Note fabric is not included in the price.
