So happy to have made it up to the Biggs Museum today in Dover to drop off some of my work to sell in their gift shop! It’s been over a year since the Biggs became the home to Delaware By Hand. Part of that collaboration was to offer space to DBH artists and artisans to display and sell their work!
I’ve been excited to be a part of that- I started with pillows, table runners and kitchen towels. Today, I dropped off some new table lamps. I love these. Simple design. Beautiful, solid wood bases. The same sustainable materials that I use in all my work. Perfectly inspired to sit on a desk, and just the right amount of light to sit on a nightstand.
I love making lighting as much as I love the finished product. I do a lot of these on a custom basis, because of how personal and specific lighting can be to someone’s individual space.
I didn’t take everything that I have to the Biggs Museum today though. Here are a few lamps that I still have here in the studio, with more to come!
Those yellow lamps were a new thing for me. I dyed the fabric myself, and then printed on it. I’d love for there to be more choices for solid colors in sustainable fabrics, but then again, I love an excuse to dye fabric too…
The white on white is a subtle and unique look. It’s a lot about the texture of the print and the fabric itself. The lamp lit up is a different story- the print takes on the focus.
Do you give much thought to the lighting in your home? What’s your favorite lamp or light fixture and why?
