Meet the Maker: My work is dedicated to the art of creating handcrafted Victorian-style lampshades, where tradition meets contemporary craftsmanship. Each piece is carefully designed and built using fine fabrics, lace, beaded fringes, and intricate trimmings that celebrate the timeless elegance of the Victorian era while offering a fresh perspective for modern interiors. The process begins with the metal wire frame, which I prepare and cover by hand before layering fabrics and details. I work with materials such as silk, velvet, lace, and fringes, often combining textures and finishes to achieve depth and dimension. Every step, from cutting to sewing to finishing details, is done manually, ensuring that each lampshade is truly one of a kind. What sets my work apart is the commitment to both beauty and craftsmanship. My lampshades are more than functional objects; they are statement pieces that transform light into an atmosphere of warmth, romance, and storytelling. I strive to honor historical design while infusing creativity and modern sensibility, making them suitable for both vintage-inspired and contemporary spaces. As an artist, I believe in preserving and revitalizing this traditional craft. My goal is to create pieces that not only illuminate a room but also spark a sense of wonder and connection to the handmade process. Each lampshade carries with it countless hours of dedication, passion, and an appreciation for the artistry of slow craft.
