5 Day Lampshade Course, 2024

"Moji ran an unbelievably professional and well planned course. From the moment I arrived I felt looked after and in great hands. Moji thinks of everything and supports you through the learning process whilst also giving you enough space to really know you can apply the skills yourself too. She does not compromise on quality and this shines through everything she does. The course feels personalised and lovely, she makes a fab lunch. Moji cares that when you leave that you know how to keep going with lampshade making and she gives practical resources to help with this. She's great and a fab laugh! Highly recommended!"

5 Day Lampshade Masterclasss

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a 6-day lampshade course with Moji. She was warm, patient, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable about the craft. In addition, she offered invaluable insights into topics like color theory, social media strategy, and other aspects of running a successful business. Her Brighton design studio was also a lovely setting in which to learn the craft and her lunches each day were delicious. What stands out to me and what I appreciate the most is her commitment to quality. She is passionate about good design and that shines through in every detail of her instruction. Moji also provided invaluable, detailed documentation on how to recreate every design we worked on over the week, as well as pictures of each step of the process. The course exceeded my expectations — I’m so glad I was able to take this master class with Moji and I can’t wait to use the skills I learned."
