Lake's Lampshade Workshops for 2010

Winter/Spring Lampshade Workshops 2010 w/ Judy Lake, author of:
The Lamphade Lady's Guide to Lighting up Your Life
Jan.30
Feb. 13
March 13
or
April 17th

all Saturdays.

Time: 11am-5pm.

Location: Lake's Lampshades, 60 School St. Pawlet, VT

No summer workshops in Vermont, no air conditioning....:)

These are single workshops not a series. Everyone leaves with a finished lampshade and lots of new lighting info and skills to make fabric hardback lampshades.

COST: $150 for all materials except fabric. Students will bring the fabric of their choice, about 1/2 yd. I encourage you to search through family linen closest or attic to find vintage finds or hit the antique shops. Vintage fabric works easier than new fabric. Must be cotton or linen fiber content.

Students can buy materials after class for a few shades. It's a good idea to do a couple shades soon after our workshop.

Reservations are a must due to small workspace and preparations on my end. Please try to plan ahead. Workshops are lots of fun. Some students come and make one shade and other come to start a business or make all new lampshades for their home. A great resource for interior designers. There is always lots to learn in the lighting world. I am still learning something new everyday and have been making shades for over 20 years!
