Handmade lampshades, from knitted textiles.


Small Horsehair Lampshade

I am a textile designer specialising in contemporary knitted textiles with a particular interest in materials.

This website showcases my range of contemporary knitted lampshades made from paper, horsehair, wire and silver metallic yarn. The structural nature of these materials allow it to form a three dimensional shape, ideally suited to the creation of lampshades. The structure of the textile and texture of the materials is highlighted when lit. The lining allows light to come through, creating pattern and texture. The lampshades are handmade with bespoke frames and each one is unique.

In the Shop you will find images with detailed specifications and prices on each individual shade and details of how to order. Commissions are also taken.


I will be showcasing the lampshades at the Liverpool Design Festival from 7th to 9th October 2011
