36. Delight Lampshades

Lampshades; textiles; vintage; lighting

Welcome to my charming courtyard studio in Warfield, where a world of handcrafted lampshades awaits. My fascination with fabric lampshades began the moment I laid eyes on my first Victorian shade: its intricate detail and warm glow sparked a lifelong passion. Over 30 years ago I took my first step into this craft with a simple glue-gun course. But that was just the beginning. I was determined to master the traditional hand-sewn method. I delved into research, sourced exquisite vintage fabrics, and experimented with fabric dying to achieve the perfect hues. Lately I’ve been exploring a variety of styles, from mid-century modern to Japanese and whimsical designs. This year, I will be showcasing a work in progress, giving you a look at the intricate process of creating a hand-sewn shade. This year, we are so fortunate to be joined by Jacki Bruce of JB designs, whose stunning creations will add even more beauty to the courtyard. We can’t wait to welcome you to an enlightened experience, where craftsmanship, creativity and ambiance come together in perfect harmony.

I would like to invite you to visit my pottery studio, where I work to create a wide variety of pottery pieces, both wheel-thrown and hand-built. I have made pottery for almost 50 years and love to share and talk about what I do. At my venue, you can visit my studio to see wheel-throwing demonstrations and view the large variety of my pottery, which will also be for sale. I have participated in the tour many times and love meeting new people and greeting “old” friends and sharing what I do.
