Bringing prints into your home
Lampshades
Lampshades are an excellent way to introduce colour and pattern into your home. Molly covers everything from gathered lampshades to skirt lampshades and guides you through how to make a lampshade with your very own print.
Equipment
- My lampshade kit in Wave Pink or Wiggle Blue. Alternatively, you can buy individual pieces.
- 25cm Circular Lampshade Ringset
- Self-adhesive lampshade panel size 801mm x 238mm
- Lampshade
- Sticky tape
- Pot of bespoke eco-fabric ink
- Lino block mounted on plywood
- Stippler
- Lino cutting toolset
Lesson summary
- A lampshade is a brilliant way of bringing colour and pattern into your home.
- I use Permaset Aqua Fabric & Textile Screen Printing Ink in Scarlet.
- For a skirt lampshade hem, the top and bottom of a block printed piece of fabric.
- Printing paper can be used to make lovely lampshades.
- I suggest taping the panel to the table with masking tape.
- Consider the size of your work and how it will fit on the panel.
Your assignment
Make your own lampshade, experimenting with various colours and repeat patterns.
