ABOUT US

Hi my name is Alice and I originally hail from sunny California. I moved to England in 2005 and after 15 long years, I have moved back to my beautiful home country to be closer to family. Whilst in England, I worked long hard hours in the legal field and thought this was my life. I have always wanted to run my own business and be my own boss. Fast forward a few years, I got into the fitness industry where I owned my own gym for about 5 years. I loved running my own business and learned so much about it that I knew I never wanted to have a normal 9-5 job ever again. During the COVID pandemic, England locked down in late March 2020 and I was forced to temporarily close my gym. I needed something to do during the lockdown and I have always been creative and artistic and enjoyed working with my hands. I started making lampshades after being inspired how beautiful they can be and how they can change the aura of the room and it accidentally turned into a business. The rest is history. If I am not in my workshop creating beautiful designs, I am mostly at the gym or walking my two dogs and allowing them to be my helpers.

The Workshop

The workshop has evolved from a single spare bedroom into a proper finished basement with lots of work tables, cutting equipment sewing machines and walls of rings, shelves of fabric and creative supplies.

The Process

The process of making each and every lampshade can be time consuming. The first step is to cut the styrene whether it is a standard drum, custom empire or a sconce.

The corresponding fabric is then cut to shape, pressed flat with an iron and then the styrene is carefully transferred onto the fabric.

The rings then need to be applied and the edges are rolled and finished off. Each and every shade is then quality inspected and wrapped carefully to go to its new home.

I appreciate all of your business and most importantly your patience while I work diligently through each one. I do enjoy taking my time to ensure that each one is crafted to its highest quality. Each lampshade made to order can take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete. Your patience is much appreciated during this time.
