Lampshade Workshop

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

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.
