I learned how to make the gathered and pleated lampshades – it was such a wonderful experience, I did not want it to end! I wish I had booked 5 days, so I will need to return for more classes in the future. Moji is a wonderful teacher, it’s clear her skills and knowledge are honed from decades of experience. I appreciated all her business advice, she genuinely offers her wisdom to you. More than that, she is so enjoyable to spend the day with and we had a lot of fun together.

Thank you Moji for such a wonderful course! I feel i learnt a lot in the space of a day.

It was also lovely to work in her lovely home studio surrounded by beautiful things she has created.”Moji is very skilled and experienced in a wide range of arts and crafts and very generous in sharing her knowledge during the course. She has a very hands-on and relaxed approach, a good mixture of showing, telling and getting you to do the work yourself with supervision or sometimes leaving you alone to get on with it. Taking photographs and videos as we went was also extremely helpful – there is so much to remember and it was a great way to record the steps for future reference.” -C McMahon
