Lampshade Workshop with Guest Artist Kristina from Urban Fresh Home
Join us for a full day of creativity, relaxation, and craftsmanship as we create a stunning, custom-designed lamp with renowned guest artist Kristina from Urban Fresh Home (USA). This unique workshop blends pottery and textile design to help you craft both a hand-built clay lamp base and a beautifully designed lampshade, all while enjoying a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere.
What to Expect
The day begins with an introduction to pottery, where you’ll work with Danica from Rediscover Ceramics to create your lamp base. Using the slab technique, you’ll roll out clay, imprint nature-inspired textures, and decorate your piece before assembling it. If time allows, you’ll have the option to add vibrant underglazes or finish with a beautiful copper green glaze wash to highlight the textures.
After a delicious lunch break, you’ll join Kristina to create your very own lampshade. Please bring your own material (1/2 meter) to create a standard 30cm drum shade and learn how to assemble it using the included electrical kit and frame.
Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned creator, this workshop is designed to guide you through each step and provide all the support you need to create something beautiful and functional.
