Millerton NY Talk of the Town: Workshops at Shandells

Workshops at Shandells

Dear Friends,

Since the launch of my new website I have been increasingly getting emails and walk-in visitors asking about how to pick the right size lampshade for a lamp, and how long does it take to make a shade, and can I make “this” (whatever “this” is!) into a lamp.


Starting in May I will be extending my hours (Thurs. – Sat. 11-5 and Sun. 11-3), and will also kick off FREE monthly workshops on the second Saturday of each month, to help answer some of those questions, and more.

MAY 8 AND JUNE 12 are the first two workshops, from 9-11 AM each of those days.

Topics we’ll cover include: how to fit a lamp with a lampshade, revamping a dated lamp with a new shade, basic construction of a shade, and different things you can make into a lamp.

I have limited space so reservations will be needed; please email me at thingsthatmakeyousmile [at] gmail [dot] com, or call the studio at 518.789.6603.

The workshop will also include an inside look to “the Lampshade Lady’s” world. Come see my vintage paper and fittings and trimmings collections, and learn about how I got into this, etc.–and have a cup of tea!

Hopefully those who attend will be inspired to spruce up their decors with a new shade or a new lamp fashioned from some treasure they own.

Look forward to meeting you, Http://www.Shandells.com

From Jim, One of Millerton's Fans

Thanks for responding Chitchat. To be honest, I was not aware of the other Millerton web site. In fact, interestingly enough, when you Google Millerton, NY the millertonny.com web site is prominently displayed thus, I was unaware of the other site. I agree with you. For only $40, if I were a small shop owner, I choose to spend my dollars where the search engines point which is clearly Millertonny.com :-)
