What size or shape do you want ....?
Well lets define what I can offer .
I make what it referred to as a RIGID lampshade - lined with a PVC liner - on rigid frame ( see spec * at bottom of post ) .
Primarily I make a range of drum ,cone or empire lampshades - I do not make SOFT lampshades requiring hand sewing .

I can do other sizes/shapes with the following limitations:
- Max sizes for posting are : WIDEST - 40cm wide x 30cm high / 35cm w x 40cm high and TALLEST 25 cm wide x 55cm high.
- Largest posted outside the UK is 20cm wide x 25 cm high
- I can do larger lampshades if picked up by customer from studio BUT extra charges will apply to cover non standard frame sizes and more rigid PVC liner which I do not hold in stock
- I do a standard WHITE liner - I can do others ( colours/metallics ) but additional charges will apply as I do not hold those in stock and basically they cost a fair bit more.
- I can easily customise HEIGHT but I cannot alter width options for DRUM lampshades.
- Any cone or empire lampshade requires a template - I do a limited range - additional charges will apply if you require something other than these.
Some notes on fabric :
- I use my own fabric , you can send me yours but there will be no reduction in lampshade cost ( I don't do plain ones tho' - honestly if you want a plain colour lampshade there cheaper places to go ) .
- Vintage fabric generally is 119cm wide - the max lampshade is 35cm wide if working across the fabric width on these fabrics. For wider ones I have to join 2 widths together thus the lampshade would have a seam or I alternatively could use the length of the fabric ( if I have enough and the design works that way) . This may limit your options for a particular fabric.
- The condition, amount available and design of any of my fabrics can limit the sizes offered
- I use VINTAGE fabric - up to 70 years old - it is rarely absolutely perfect so if brand new looking is what you need you might need to look elsewhere.
- Again I use VINTAGE fabric - if you see something you like don't delay your purchase I have limited available of each fabric and cannot guarantee finding the one you liked again!
I hope that helps you pick out what you need but contact me if you need some advice on what might work for you - I would say about a 10th of my customers do so don't be shy !
