With no decorative border rows to reign in the flowers, the 16″ Daffodil has a carefree, windswept feel. For this shade we chose a sunny yellow background glass that deepens to an amber/green mix on the lower portion of the shade. The fresh green leaves and stems provide a crisp contrast to the warm amber…

The pattern of the lead lines takes its cues from the veining in the leaves, and the three dimensional accordion pleat surface brings the…
Progress continued on the 18″ Tulip shade. With the layout complete and all the pieces foiled, Bill Campbell transferred the lamp onto the lamp form for soldering. Our lamp forms are made of Fiberglas and are coated with a tacky beeswax mixture we make at the studio. The wax holds the pieces in place for…
