FAQs
​
Who is the class for?
Anyone over the age of 16 is welcome! Suitable for complete beginners or those with more experience, it's a nice relaxed and friendly class.
​
What's involved?
Wendy will take you through the tools and materials you will need and the basic techniques you will learn. You’ll choose to make either a 20cm or 30cm lampshade which can fit either a pendant light or lamp base. Wendy will show you every step of the way to creating gorgeous, professional standard lampshades!
​
What's included?
The price includes everything you need except the fabric, which you will need to bring with you (there will be a small selection available to purchase on the day, but we can't guarantee it will suit your home). Refreshments are included.
​
What are the design options?
When you arrive at your class, you will be given the choice of either a 20cm or a 30cm lampshade. How it will look all depends on the fabric you bring! You'll make a double-sided shade, so it's up to you what design you have on the inside, and what you have on the outside.
​
What do I need to bring?
It's a double-sided shade, so you'll need 2 pieces of fabric; one for the inside, one for the outside. A woven fabric without stretch is best (we recommend quite thin cotton, linen or poly blends). Both pieces of fabric will need to be at least 30cm wide x 100cm long (just ask your fabric supplier to cut 30cm, the length of your piece of fabric will be the standard width of the roll).
If you use reading glasses or similar, you may wish to bring them too.
​
How long will the class last?
The class will last approximately 2 to 2½ hours. It’s best to allow a little extra time as classes sometimes over-run depending on group sizes.
​
Where is the class held?
Classes are held in The Little Craftery in Field Row, Worthing, which is designed to be a functional, comfortable workspace for up to 3 participants. The shop will be closed to the public during your class, so you don’t need to worry about interruptions. If you have any special access requirements, please contact Wendy at The Little Craftery before you book to discuss, and to find out if access is available for you.
​
Do we need to book?
Yes, please do book in advance, as there are a limited number of places on each class (a maximum of 3 people per open class), and we wouldn’t want you to be disappointed! We require full payment in advance in order to secure your booking. Online payments will be taken securely by either Square or Paypal (don’t worry, you don’t have to have a Paypal account!). If you’d rather not book online, you can book in person at The Little Craftery.
​
How do I book?
You can book on this page; just go to the 'Book Here' section above, and you'll see there are two options.
Option 1 is to check for classes already open; these are the dates that other people have already set, and are happy for you to join them. If there are no dates that you can do there, then come back to this page and go to option 2.
Option 2 is where you can set up a new date. Start by choosing how many people are in your group, and you'll be taken to a new calendar where you can choose any date and time you like. You can also decide if you want it to be a private class, or if you'd like us to open it up for others to join you.
​
Why are there no dates available?
You haven't set one yet! Instead of us trying to guess when you might want your class, it's easier if you tell us.
If you want an open class with other people, you can choose your own date by going straight to 'Option 2' in the Book Here section above. If it's just one or two people that you book for, we'll open that date up for others to book onto (unless you chose a private session).
Any bookings for 3 people or more will automatically be set as a private session.
​
How many people are needed for a class?
We need at least 2 people per class, unless you've chosen to pay the additional supplement fee for a one-on-one (single person) class.
If you've set a new date and no-one else books onto it, we'll unfortunately have to reschedule or cancel your class. You'll be notified by email and text message 24 hours in advance, with options to either reschedule to a later date, or cancel for a full refund.
The maximum number of people per class depends on the class, and how much space it takes to do it (for this class it's 3 people).
​
Can I book a private session?
Of course! Just head straight to 'Option 2' in the 'Book Here' section above.
For private sessions of just one person, we charge a supplement fee (which is 80% of the cost of the class, rounded to the nearest £1), so it might be worthwhile bringing a friend! You can choose not to pay the additional supplement fee, in which case we'll open up your class for others to join you, but if we can't find a second person we will have to reschedule the class.
If there are two of you, you have a choice of a private class (no supplement fee), or opening it up for others to join (the class will go ahead with just the two of you if we don't find anyone else).
Bookings for three or more people will automatically get a private session at no extra cost.
​
What's the cancellation policy?
If you are unable to attend your class, please let us know as soon as possible.
If you cancel more than 7 days in advance of the class - You'll be eligible for a full refund or a reschedule, as you prefer.
If you cancel within 7 days of the class (up to 24 hours before the class) - you're not eligible for a refund, but you can reschedule.
If you cancel within 24 hours of the class - you're not eligible for a refund or a reschedule.
Failure to show up for your class will not be eligible for a refund or reschedule.
In any circumstance where a class is cancelled by The Little Craftery, we will attempt to contact you in advance as soon as possible to either reschedule or offer a full refund, as you prefer.
