Bespoke Lampshade Masterclasses

"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."
