Linen lampshades & pendants
Our block-printed linen shades generally come in tapered or drum styles (though, as mentioned before, they can be made to order in virtually any size or shape). The textile - a high quality linen - is block-printed by us, the artists, in our Dorset workshop (in much the same way we print our cushion covers). Once the fabric has been printed, cured (dried) and fixed, it is sent to a shade craftsman based locally where it is cut to size and skilfully transformed into a professionally-made, hand-rolled lampshade or pendant.
At present, the block-printed collection features five of our most popular designs: 'Varx', 'Nightjars', 'Bloodlines', 'Ship in a Battle' and 'Lyme Bay'. All these designs are available in a beautiful, muted palette - colour-ways include Blue grey, Carbon black, Elizabethan ochre, Midnight blue and Venetian red.
Each block-printed lampshade or pendant is unique - although shades may be of the same dimensions and shape, and feature the same design, the nature of block-printing means no two will be identical.
Commercially hand screen-printed
Our commercially hand screen-printed linen shades are also available in the popular tapered or drum styles. However, they too can be made to order in any shape or size. These lampshades and pendants are the fruit of a collaboration with a London-based company, specialists in screen-printing by hand. Having our patterns reproduced allows us to play with scale; by enlarging a design, we can dramatise the beauty and character of the artist's mark-making.
At present, our hand screen-printed linen shades are available in the following designs: ‘Bloodlines’ (in Elizabethan ochre or Venetian red), ‘Lyme Bay’ (in Blue grey) and ‘Ode to the Ash’ (in Blue grey or Midnight blue).
All our lampshades and pendants have a universal fitting, and are backed using a flame retardant material. If you choose to purchase one, please use an energy saving eco bulb if possible.
