Lampshades for Buzzart!

Lampshades for Buzzart!

Date: 2013-11-22
One of the features of this year's fabulous annual festive art and craft market, Buzzart, which takes place at the KZNSA Gallery over the festive season, is a selection of unusual, bespoke hand-crafted lampshades.

Candy Randles from The Lamp Collection, who is celebrating a decade of business, created a design-a-lampshade competition through her website in association with artSPACE. Art makers and crafters have embraced the concept, designing funky, original one-off designer lampshades. Randles was delighted by the response and intends to run the competition annually.

David Mtongerwa walked away with the first prize for his innovative coloured-wire, bead and mixed media shade in bold ice-cream colours. His prize was R500 cash from The Lamp Collection.

All the entries - including Mtongerwa's winning lampshade - will be on sale at the Buzzart Fair.

The idea is to spend time leisurely browsing for all your Christmas presents - with gift ideas suitable for tots to grannies; work colleagues and loved ones. If one needs to pause for inspiration and sustenance, the KZNSA Gallery Cafe will be open!
