3rd May - Lampshade Making with Studio Zef
Saturday 3rd May 2025
10am - 2pm
Your ticket includes lunch and a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, plus unlimited tea and coffee.
During this masterclass, you will learn the art of block printing onto a cotton lampshade.
With a huge choice of blocks and paint colours you will be able to create a completely unique and beautiful pattern. We will provide 2D cut out lampshades to perfect your design on and a lampshade to practise on.
Printing on lampshades is harder than it looks, so we’ll make sure to give you lots of practice time! Once you feel confident enough and happy with your pattern, you’ll be ready to print onto the shade you will take home.
This technique can then be transferred onto linen shades, card shades, curtains, napkins, cushions, cards, wrapping paper; the list is endless. The final lampshade will come with a UK/EU fitting and is suitable for table/floor lamps.
You will leave this workshop with a 30cm empire lampshade which you will have printed your own pattern onto, using Studio Zef blocks.

About Studio Zef
Studio Zef are designers of beautifully artistic, characterful and contemporary hand printed lampshades. Born due to a love of craft and home renovation on a budget, Grace Franks established Studio Zef at the start of 2023. Their block printed lampshades are carefully designed using confident patterns in thoughtful and stylish colours. Each design is hand drawn and carved to create lino blocks, then printed onto cotton shades in their Cotswolds studio.
“Our aim is to create harmonious, striking designs that complement and elevate the style of any interior. With sustainability at the forefront, all of our lampshades are made and printed in the UK and will last a lifetime, if not more. Plus, our packaging is all recycled and/or recyclable.”
