Family Half Term Holiday Creative Workshop – Lamp Making for children and their adults for a full family experience. Working together to learn lifelong skills.

This half term holiday, why not book onto a lamp making workshop. Children will have the opportunity to explore their creativity in a family-focused lamp-making workshop. Guided by myself and my husband Peter Lanyon, participants will learn the basics of lampshade design, and woodworking with hand tools.

Each child will make a lampshade using wax-resist pastels and high-quality watercolour paints, allowing them to personalise their creations.

The hands-on woodworking experience not only fosters creative skills but also encourages children to use and explore sharp tools in a safe, nurturing environment. Starting with a simple stem they will learn to use the drawknife and spokeshave to create an elegant tapering lamp stem. They will refine the shape of their base, mount the stem, and learn some simple electrical wiring skills. By the end of the workshop, each child will leave with a handcrafted lamp to brighten their bedroom, instilling a sense of accomplishment and pride in their work.

This is a half-day course. Minimum age – 8. Each child must be accompanied by a paying adult with a maximum of two children per adult. Adults will also produce a lamp.

If adults don’t want to make a lamp they don’t need to pay for a place, but they will need to stay to support the child they bring.

Saturday 15th February 2025 and Saturday 5th April 2025 – Arrive 12.40pm, leave at 5pm.

Healthy drinks and snacks provided.

Please advise of any allergies.
