Various techniques and materials are used to create glass lamps and light shades. These include fused glass slumped over a mould, fused glass panes/panels suspended from steel mountings and recycled glass, cut at unique angels and mounted to steel frames. Other materials such as pieces of copper mesh or other pre-shaped pieces of glass are often added to give the piece depth and character. The subtle irregularities in each handcrafted design create an enchanting ambience and are truly set apart from the everyday, mass-produced products.
