Meet Your Maker

 

Hi, I am Grace or better known as "The Lampshade Witch". If you're wondering how this small business came to be, let me tell you! I come from a very unique background, my family is what is known as generational witches. I can trace our family lineage back to the Salem witch trials and Sarah Wildes, my 11th great grandmother who was unfortunately executed alongside Rebecca Nurse. My grandmother raised me and taught me to incorporate magic into everyday life. I have always been quite creative - everything from baking to sewing my own clothing and costumes. I have also always had an affinity for the dead. By day (and day I mean graveyard shift) I have carved out a career path for myself in the death care industry, once working for one of the largest mortuaries in the U.S. and then moving into organ and tissue harvesting. I began the creative endeavor of lampshade making (or as I have so spiritedly named them, "Nightshades"), in the beginning of 2020 with my best friend. I have since struck out on my own and rebranded and thus "The Lampshade Witch" was born! 

There are plenty of lampshade makers out there these days, so I deeply appreciate your support towards my little business. With that being said, here is a little shameless self promotion. I have a welder who makes my frames and for the most part, I hand sew all my nightshades. Occasionally, I will revamp an older shade if I find one in good enough condition (those will always be sold at a slightly lower price as they require less work and materials). I am not a traditional victorian lampshade maker, I have added my own spin on these nightshades so my methods are a little more modern and cost effective which means I can charge a much better price! I also love a darker aesthetic so I cater to those who love the same. With that being said, I do lots of custom orders for those with a "lighter" decor, I can match any theme, color scheme or aesthetic you have in mind, so please always feel free to reach out on the contact page with any ideas for a nightshade you might have and we can definitely discuss how to make your nightshade dreams into a reality!
