ClothShop by Christopher Farr Cloth presents Illuminating Worlds: Light as Storytelling for London Craft Week. A collaborative exhibition showcasing a series of one-off hand-crafted lampshades that reimagine its surface as a site for storytelling, where light reveals colour and narrative. Created in collaboration with leading contemporary artists and makers, each piece brings a distinct visual language, forming a body of work that sits between art and design. Paired with handcrafted bases by master makers, all lampshades are available to purchase online with proceeds supporting Bridges for Communities, a charity that connects people of different cultures and faiths, enabling them to build friendships, grow in their understanding of one another and live well with difference.

Primavera's Garden by Natasha Hulse

Celebrating the arrival of Spring, the shade draws inspiration from Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera and The Birth of Venus, echoing their soft palettes and flowing forms. Floating blossoms and tendril vines move across the shade in blue, pink and golden tones, capturing the lightness, warmth and quiet abundance of the season, while Natasha’s signature leaves add structure and movement to ground the design.

A British appliqué artist working at the intersection of textiles and interiors, Natasha Hulse creates bespoke artworks for headboards, wallpaper, fabric walling and interior products. Each piece is made by hand, combining painted surfaces on paper or fabric with layered, three-dimensional appliqué elements that are carefully sewn and assembled.

Her work draws inspiration from the natural world, translating organic forms and motifs into richly textured compositions that bring character and narrative to interior spaces. Working with a small skilled team in the UK, Hulse uses a variety of fabric manipulation techniques to create one-of-a-kind textile artworks.
