A Papershades workshop is creative and fun. Taking place in Ros's studio space in Muswell Hill, north London they usually last three hours and cost £48 per person. Ros provides all the materials, expert tuition and makes sure that everyone feels confident and relaxed. There will be lashings of tea, coffee and cake throughout!
Up to 10 people can attend a Papershades workshop however Ros is very happy to run workshops for smaller numbers. Everyone will have the chance to channel their creativity and discover the artistic potential of paper with the chance to choose from a wide range of tissue, wrapping, wallpaper and packaging. After a session of selecting, snipping, tearing and sticking each person will have created a paper collage template. This will then be printed onto five panels of translucent Papershades paper. Then it's time to construct the lampshade using the unique Papershades wheels. Everyone will go home with their own amazing lampshade.

Ros says: " I run my workshops from my studio and they can take place on weekends or weekdays. It's best to just drop me a line on hello@papershades.co.uk and let me know when you would like to come, or arrange for someone to come as gift.
I recommend Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays from -10am - 1pm or from 2pm - 5pm on Sundays. But just let me know what suits you. Once we've fixed a date you can confirm it and pay via the website or bring cash on the day."
Note regarding Coronavirus:
Well, 2020 was not a good year for workshops. Let's hope that 2021 will be better. Once we've all had the vaccine it should be much easier to do this and, of course, I'd make sure my studio is 'covid-safe'.
So, if you're interested in coming to a Papershades workshop please do let me know. I soooo look forward to getting back to normal. I'm longing to welcome students to my studio to learn how to rip and snip to create beautiful designs. Let's stay in touch whatever. See you soon, I hope!
Love Ros x
