Book Description
Now making one-of-a-kind lamps at home is within everyone's reach. With over 50 different lamps to make and 100+ color photographs to help guide the reader, this book teaches lampmaking with easy-to-follow instructions and elegant design. The book covers floor and table lamps, chandeliers, night lights, and sconces using a variety of materials such as paper mache, gourds, tree branches, corrugated cardboard and more.
Three major sections focus on creating lamps from ordinary objects, turning old lamps into funky, attractive new lighting sources, and making lamps from scratch. Readers also learn how to wire and make a simple shade. The final section is a stunning gallery that showcases the work of talented US lamp designers and also provides a good list of lampmaking suppliers.
Selected, more unusual projects include a paper mache lamp base and shade, a tin can tower or metal mesh lamp, and a lamp made from a tree branch. Readers can also revive an old lamp with china mosiacs or decoupage, create a free-form lantern, or a geode night light.
