Threads of Light: Emirati-Inspired Lampshade Art
Description
Discover the art of lampshade design in this hands-on workshop inspired by Emirati art and culture. Participants will explore painting, fabric appliqué, beadwork, and simple embroidery techniques to create and decorate their own fabric lampshade.
By combining colour, texture, craftsmanship, and light, participants will produce a personalised illuminated piece that brings traditional influences into a contemporary creative experience.
