Inspired by the collection of William Morris and Liberty prints on display at the Gallery, see how you can design and create your own bespoke lampshade. Guided step-by-step, you will learn the fundamentals of lampshade construction, resulting in a professional-looking piece ready to take home and use.

William Morris’s richly patterned designs have inspired interior designers and makers for generations, shaping how we think about craft, pattern, and the home. Drawing on this tradition, the workshop invites you to create a personal functional object.

No previous experience or skills required, this workshop is designed for all. A great chance to slow down and create something that you will be proud of.

About the artist

After successfully organising art nights with friends, Isabel Agnew now organises workshops to wider audiences across London. Lampshade-making has quickly become a favourite – a wonderful balance of creativity, skill-building, and the chance to leave the workshop with a finished object that you can be genuinely proud of. Isabel’s aim is to provide an easy, low pressure way for art-curious people to drop in, work with their hands for a few hours – with everything provided and no setup, cleaning, or overthinking required.
