Upcoming Workshops

Lino Printed Lampshades

Date: Sunday 22nd November 2026

Time: 9:30am - 3:30pm

Location: The Museum of Making, Silk Mill Lane, Derby, DE1 3AF

Price: £85

Learn to lino print and construct your own lampshade in a day.

In this workshop, you’ll be guided through designing your pattern and cutting your own lino block. Using natural dye inks, you’ll learn to print your design onto beautiful, pure linen fabric. After drying and heat setting the fabric, you’ll then be taught to roll your handprinted textile onto a 30cm drum shade, creating a professional quality lampshade.

You’ll leave with your very own handprinted shade, which would be suitable as a ceiling pendant or for use with a lampshade base. You’ll also have gained the skills and knowledge to continue your making at home!

All tools and materials are included in the workshop.
