Testimonials
“I had been searching high and low for an online course on how to make gathered fabric lampshades, so when Minerva Workshop release their own online course, I was delighted! The course is extremely well put together, with clear, professional, informative videos, demonstrated by Lottie, who expertly guides and encourages you through the lampshade making process. The production of the course is very high quality and comes with notes as well as videos, which are useful to refer back to. I am completely hooked now and cannot wait to start my next shade. I can 100% say that I would not have finished my shade to such a high standard without the help of this course. Thank you Lottie & Minerva Workshop” - Darran, Ireland
“I was very impressed. The videos are so well produced and organized, it exceeded my expectations. Despite trying to learn on my own over the last couple of months, there is nothing like seeing the steps in action. I only wish I had this instruction from the beginning, it would have saved me so much trial and error.” - Kate, USA
“I am so sorry it has taken so long to say how fantastic your little online course was for me living in Australia. So very easy and clear to follow as I have done all sorts of sewing over the years and now found my passion. Do keep me posted with any other information as you were a great price. I LOVE lamp shade making” - Bettina, Australia
“I have wanted to learn how to make fabric lampshades for a good while, and was delighted to find a great online course. It’s lovely to sit and stitch along with Lottie, the instructions are very clear and I am delighted with my new lampshade! The option of buying a kit with supplies is a great one, it gets you stitching quickly I now know the three that I would to make, such a good skill to learn.” Jane, Ireland
