Ready to create something truly unique for your home? Take an old lampshade, some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint & transform your very own lampshade!
Join us for a creative, hands-on workshop where you’ll design and paint an lampshade using the beautifully versatile Annie Sloan Chalk Paint® and other materials.
Whether you love bold geometric patterns, soft tonal textures, or timeless stripes, this session will guide you through the process of transforming an old unloved lampshade into a bespoke statement piece for your home.
(If you wish to bring a lampshade of your own and to recover or paint that please call to discuss with our creative team.) No experience needed — just a love of colour and creativity.
During the workshop you will:
* Explore colour combinations that work beautifully together
* Understand how to use Chalk Paint® effectively on fabric
* Practise pattern techniques (stencils, tape work, freehand options)

You’ll leave with:
✔ A fully designed and painted lampshade ✔ Confidence using Chalk Paint® for creative home projects ✔ Practical knowledge to recreate the process again ✔ A one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your style
