Introducing Printmaking

“A big 'Thank You!' for the fabulous lampshade making workshop on Friday night. I had a great time and felt very well looked after. Your warm welcome, cakes and cups of tea were much appreciated, especially as I had travelled from York to join you. Georgia was a fabulous teacher - showing us how to make the lampshade step by step, providing very clear written as well as verbal instructions and giving us with support as we needed it. All the resources were readily available and Georgia's amazing fabrics are beautiful. I really enjoyed the whole experience and feel very proud of, and delighted with, the lampshade that I made, especially as a 'creative novice'. I posted a picture of the finished lampshade on my own Facebook page and have had a record 77 'likes'/'loves'/'wows' from my friends already!”

“A really good day. Excellent tutor who gave clear demonstrations and supportive help. Use of webcam was also very helpful. I came away feeling that I had learnt some basic techniques - and with 4 completed sample notebooks. A lovely lunch was an extra treat! I am looking forward to coming back again in the Autumn.”
