Learn how to emulate this distinctive decorative style to design your own unique lampshade.
We love the evocative style of the ‘Bloomsbury Group’ epitomised at nearby Charleston Farmhouse, and we will be immersing ourselves in their artistic ethos for one or two days – your choice. We will spend time exploring the iconic ’Bloomsbury’ patterns created by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell and adapting them for our own work.
Armed with plenty of inspiration, Jane will guide you through the technique of loose painting and free flow design. On this first day we will concentrate on painting a lampshade, with the option of booking a consecutive day, taking these skills one stage further to transform a small piece of furniture to grace your home.
This course is held at Wisketts Barn, Jane’s stunning live/work space of the edge of Bewl Water. The walls of her home are decorated with painted murals and you will be inspired by the lampshades in her studio where she paints for her Bloomsbury Revisited business.
