Copper Pendant Lights

Packaging My pendant lights are my favourite to pack as they come in these lovely branded boxes. The boxes are made from recycled cardboard and I use my amazing Cricut maker machine to draw my design directly onto the lid of the boxes. This means that I dont have to get extra packaging stickers printed and it means that I only make as many branded boxes as I need at the time reducing any excess waste . . . #marchmeetthemaker #btnetsy #etsyuk #pendantlight #ligthingstyle #interiorstyle #designd

How To Make Lampshades

In Love With The Process

Technique/Skills I started making lampshades over 5 years ago now and over this time I have honed my skills and also picked up lots of new ones along the way! I am now able to offer a wide variety of lampshade styles and shapes and decided a little while ago that I wanted to share my skills with others! I teach lampshade making and fairy light making workshops once a month from my lovely little studio and am hoping to expand my range of workshops this year! If you fancy coming along to learn how

Todays March Meet The Maker is self care I love being outdoors and spend a lot of time out in the countryside going for walks. I also try my best to walk to and from the studio everyday. Even though some days I dread it (there are a lot of hills on my journey) it gives me a great start to the day and gives me a bit of time to myself clears my head and gets me ready for the day ahead . . . #marchmeetthemaker #btnetsy #etsyuk #selfcare #makerslife #naturelover #walking #studiolife #lampshademake

Helping People

Over The Years

USP This sounds weird to say but I feel like my unique selling point is me I am a designer/maker which means that each and every lampshade is designed and handmade by me so you know that you are getting a brilliantly crafted product where a lot of love has gone into it I have become and expert in lampshade making over the years and some of these traditional skills are hard to come by nowadays. I really enjoy helping people find the right lampshade for their interior so if you need a bespoke

Day 12 of March Meet The Maker is Learning Curve Some lampshades can be a challenge to make especially if they are large or an usual shape. Even though these can be challenging I really like overcoming these problems and learning from them! As I have a variety of shapes and styles of lampshades that I can make in lots of different fabrics and papers I am continually learning new tips and tricks on how to make them! . . . #marchmeetthemaker #btnetsy #etsyuk #learningcurve #constantlylearning #m
