GATHERED OR PLEATED LAMPSHADES - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Pleated Shades Pictured Below - Have A Uniform Distribution Of Fabric. You Can Create The Pleats On The Frame As You Apply The Material, Or You Can Create And Press Them Off The Frame For An Even Crisper Finish. Binding The Frame, Making The Lining And Creating A Self-Bound Top And Bottom Are Common To Both Styles.

Gathered Shades Pictured Below - Can Be More Informal, The Fabric Is Evenly Distributed But In A Less Uniform Way.
We’ve Got Regular Workshops To Teach You How To Make The Particular External Fabric Treatment You’d Like To Tackle. We Have An Online-On Demand Course For Gathered Lampshades With A Balloon Lining. We’ll Be Adding More On-Demand Courses In The Autumn. To See Our In Real Life Course Dates Head Over To The Lampshade School
