If you're looking for handmade lampshades we just got a tipoff from Jack recommending Judi's Lampshades in the ABC building. "A great lampshade retail company" which does "beautiful custom lampshades" are his exact words.
A quick tour of Judi's site reveals that she specializes in antique lamps and funky, new lampshades of all kinds as well as traditional shades in nice creamy colors. Her retail is in the ABC building and her studio is in Brooklyn.
NY Mag says: Best of 2005 - Peruse the vintage-inspired silk shades at the Judi’s outpost...
Citysearch says: ...a real best kept secret...









And for those os us way out west, there is Seattle shade artist Jil Smith (www.insatiablestudios.com). I love her work!
for those OF us...
I can't type right to save my life today......

Jack is Judi's husband - what's he gonna say? Well the truth is the shades are so overpriced that when they hold a sale, they are still overpriced.
