Lampshade Art Workshop with Mark Noble

Bring an old lampshade—and leave with a piece of art.

Join Somerset-based artist Mark Noble for a unique, hands-on workshop where you'll transform a tired or unloved lampshade into a one-of-a-kind artwork. Drawing on his own passion for turning the overlooked into the extraordinary, Mark will guide you through techniques that blend creativity, storytelling, and upcycled materials.

Mark’s work, exhibited across the UK and Europe, is known for its dreamlike beauty and soulful depth. Overcoming personal challenges with autism and dyslexia, he left a factory job to follow his dream of becoming a full-time artist. He now runs inclusive, accessible art workshops to encourage others to find their voice through creativity.

This full-day session at Wick Farm invites you to slow down, create with intention, and discover new ways to express yourself. Please bring your own lampshade to transform, along with a packed lunch or something to share with the group. The workshop ends with time to explore Wick Farm’s tranquil grounds and reflect on your creative process.

All materials provided (except the lampshade). No prior experience needed.
