In an era dominated by mass production and digital replication, my work stands as a testament to the enduring value of heritage skills and artisanal craftsmanship.

Heritage and Innovation

By reviving and refining the Cyanotype process, I bridge the gap between past and present, creating timeless pieces that evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia.

My work is not just about preserving a tradition; it’s about reimagining it for a modern audience, infusing each piece with contemporary elegance that speaks to the discerning tastes of today’s design connoisseurs.

The Artistry

At the heart of my practice lies an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and authenticity

Each Cyanotype lampshade is meticulously handcrafted, using the finest materials and techniques passed down through generations

This labour-intensive process involves coating fabric with light-sensitive solutions, painstakingly arranging natural objects, and exposing the botanical composition to sunlight to create ethereal blueprints

The result is a unique work of art that captures the fleeting beauty of nature in exquisite detail

A Legacy of Excellence

My Cyanotype lampshades are more than mere decorations; they are heirlooms destined to be cherished for generations

Each piece tells a story, capturing a moment in time with unparalleled clarity and emotion

My dedication to excellence is reflected in every brushstroke, every exposure and every finished artwork
