I've been excited to share these beautiful wood turned lamp bases with you for ages but have been waiting until the launch of the new site. I went down to Brighton to interview Sarah Lock for the book a few months ago and totally fell for her work.
This is Sarah in her workshop with one of her lamp bases on the lathe. She taught herself to turn after wanting to make use of great chunks of timber left over in her partners carpentry business. She discovered how much she liked it and over time found that she was quite good at it!
When she has her finished shape she had paints each one. She creates the tiny stripes by leaving them spinning on the lathe and painting them while they spin.
They are all topped of with a linen shade (also made by Sarah) and a twisted gold cord.
