This is a fun session, with refreshments, aimed at complete beginners with all profits going to Dyscover a charity based in Leatherhead supporting adults with aphasia, a communication disability resulting from brain injury eg, a stroke.

Our tutor, Jo Jones, has been making lampshades for over 10 years, previously running a small lampshade making business from home, selling bespoke shades to customers across the UK. Jo is now a volunteer with Dyscover and has offered her time free of charge to share her lampshade knowledge to help us raise valuable funds.
