About

Hello I’m Lolly, founder, creator & hand maker at Earth Lighting.

Established in 2022, we are an independent U.K. based company specialising in traditionally hand stitched lampshades.

I live between Suffolk & Essex with my son Merlin & our seven Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Binky, Herbie, Floyd, Tottie Divine, Mike, Holly Golightly & Olaf the Brave!

I trained at Lampshade School in the U.K. where I studied the historic art of lampshade making based on the bygone methods employed during Victorian times.  We covered how to upholster a lampshade using traditional stitch work and heritage decorative finishes.

My love of understated elegance with an edge of flamboyance led me to create our signature DORIS & HETTY FEATHER lampshades, two contemporary designs with a definite nod to 1920’s glamour.  My shades are made with meticulous attention to detail and adorned with fringing, luxurious ostrich feathers & handcrafted passementerie of the highest quality.

At Earth Lighting we endeavour to use the most gorgeous natural fabrics including silks, linens, cottons & velvets, mostly sourced from small British design houses who have a conscious approach to design & sustainability.

At the heart of our business is a pure love and passion for the longevity of true craftsmanship and the utter joy of fabric & trimmings. 

I am so proud to represent this age old craft & industry.

Lolly x
