Willow Lampshade Workshop - Anna Liebmann at Scottish Basketmakers’ Circle Gathering

Course Details

Anna Liebmann will be leading a Willow Lampshade Workshop at the Scottish Basketmakers’ Circle gathering on 4th - 6th October, held at the Wasps Inverness Creative Academy.

Learn how to make creatively but with order and success a lampshade with willow, with the option of working on a former or scalloming onto a hoop or lampshade ring.

Students will choose first whether to work on a former made of kingspan for shades that will most likely hand from a standard pendant fitting, and may be quite wide at the bottom and get much smaller at the top, working from the bottom up. Alternatively, students may work from a hoop or lampshade ring to allow he work to progress from the top down. There are so many ways with a lampshade- there will be a big design element so bring a notebook and measuring tape with sketches and dimensions of the space you require to fill/ light.
