After two days of teaching traditional lampshades, I am waking up to the first day of my pleated and gathered lampshade course at @victoriahammondinteriors. I am teaching in the lovely village of Preston, Canterbury, and staying with Victoria in beautiful Wingham. It's a gorgeous village littered with great pubs (a must for me!), and everyone is so friendly. It's exactly what I want in a place. Plus, their local bakery is sublime! For future course dates, go to www.cocoonhome.CO.uk (it's a separate website and company to my fabric business). - - - - - - - - - - - - - #adultlearning #learnanewskill #newskills #crafts #oldcrafts #lostskills #lostcrafts #lights #lightingdesign #lighting #lampshademaker #lampshades #vintagelights #vintagelampshade #vintagehome #interiordecor #bespokehome #craftedhome #handmade #handsewn #makeyourown
