Workshops

"Do one thing everyday that scares you." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt  

Our face-to-face workshops are fun and they can be taught in a group settings or  on a 1-2-1/individual basis. 

The workshops include the kit supplies, tuition & light refreshments. Use your own fabric to make yourself a professionally finished bespoke lampshade. You can even make it more unique & sustainable by repurposing/ reusing an old dress, bedsheet or even a tablecloth. 

Alternatively you can buy fabric directly from Detola & Geek from a limited range of African wax prints. 

"I absolutely loved the lampshade workshop with Tola, it was really enjoyable & was so chuffed to have made such a great shade! It was a gift for my sister & she loved it. I highly recommend Tola's workshop!" ~ Sarah Graham, artist. 

"I never thought making lampshades could be a rollercoaster of emotions!!! You were a great teacher. Thank you for a fantastic lampshade experience." ~ Julie M.  

These are adult workshops & for beginners. Absolutely no sewing is involved! 

Detola & Geek will bring the workshop to you as long as you have a room/space with flat surfaces (like tables, counter tops etc) to use. Be it your home, place of work, community centre, craft shop or any other suitable venue. As long as it's  commutable for me. 

Our workshops can be tailored to suit sip & craft, hen-does, birthday parties etc. as well as team-building/away-day events.  

Get in touch via our contact page with more info on what kind of workshop you are interested in (private tuition or group) where you are based etc and I will get back to you as ASAP.
