Member Angela Anning takes commissions for lampshades. Drawing on photos and sketches, she paints semi abstract landscape images on calico using combinations of Jacquard Dye-na-Flow fabric paints and Derwent Inktense Blocks. The shades are then put together using Dannells kits.

After consultation with a client about where the shade will be in their home and what colour scheme, size and style of shade they would like, Angela prepares samples for feedback, before creating a unique lampshade.

Email Angela if you are interested in commissioning a shade. No two are ever the same...
