“I had been searching high and low for an online course on how to make gathered fabric lampshades, so when Minerva Workshop released 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 and Minerva Workshop. ”
