Visit their facebook page for contacting the club Stalbridge resident Laura Walter tells us about her hand made lampshades, crafted in her Studio.
"My name is Laura and I create lampshades in my Stalbridge studio. I LOVE LAMPSHADES, It's my guilty pleasure !!!" 'The home should be the treasure chest of living'
Quote by Le Corbusier "I am often asked how and why I started making lampshades ........ It starts from my creative background and studying in visual studies, Decorative glass and floristry. These creative subjects allowed me to indulge in my love for colours, shape, texture and craftsmanship . Lampshade making came along as I was fed up of only seeing the same run of the mill, poor quality, mass production on the High street. I wanted to create something a little different with a high level of quality and finish. I also enjoy fabric buying and always on the lookout for new, unusual, retro, funky and traditional designs, also looking to Scandinavia for that Scandi touch." Lampshades can add colour, character, warmth, and atmosphere to a room as well as making a statement All my lampshades are Handmade to order by myself, they therefore take time and are not mass produced. It is MADE JUST FOR YOU!! I Love what I do and I hope that passion shines through in the pieces that I make. You will find stunning lampshades that will bring extra charm and character to your home decor.
If you want a particular shape, size or fabric that is not listed on my Etsy or Ebay shop, please call me and I will be happy to help . Free UK postage or if local I can deliver | Please allow 5 to 10 days for dispatch or delivery | For enquiries you can email me at No6Creations@outlook.com or please take a look at my Etsy page and Ebay shop by clicking on the buttons below - Laura
