Every
lampshade is *handcrafted, and begins with a seed
packet, as we organically grow, gather, press, and
dry all of our own plant materials. We have
hundreds of plant varieties to work with, and
chances are good that we have some of your
favorites!
Each shade is a unique work of art, individually
designed, and constructed with the finest materials
and hardware. Custom work is a specialty, and shades
can be designed to complement your fabric swatches
or wallpaper samples. We can even personalize
children's shades and nightlights.
Botanical Lampshades studio is in
North Sandwich, New Hampshire.
Please call 603-284-7468, if you would like to
visit. Bring your lamp if you would like to order a
shade. Children are welcome. They can make their own
flower press to bring home!
Wedding
Bouquets:
Preserve your wedding bouquet forever in a custom
lampshade! Bring us your fresh bouquet, or we can tell you
how to prepare your flowers for pressing.
