Berber Inspired Stained Glass Table Lamp Shade with Hand Beading- Morocco
This piece is a six-sided table lamp with a central design inspired by the Khamsa (Hand of Fatima) from Khenifra in central Morocco. I was inspired by Berber woven textile designs for the skirt which are achieved using copper overlay. The hand-beaded strands add a delicate grace to the overall look of the lamp. The shade sits atop a copper shaft that I decorated with solder sculpting after which I applied a copper patina. The base is composed of six slate wedges and framed in mahogany. Contact me to commission a table lamp that is uniquely yours.

I create custom stained glass windows and fused glass art work with unique designs and handcrafted excellence. My passion for glass germinated in the cathedrals of France, developed roots in Hawai`i and is now branching out in Oregon. Commissioning artwork is very rewarding. The result is a piece of art to which you have a uniquely personal connection. Your involvement in the process can range from a general idea of the design or purpose of the piece to an ongoing conversation as we develop a design that expresses your voice. Your satisfaction is always my primary goal. Finding the perfect gift is time well spent when you give a quality handmade item that brings joy to the person who receives it. In addition to commission work, I create ready-to-purchase boutique items each of which is unique. From fused glass sculptures that bring new energy into a space, fused glass table ware for that special occasion, to personal items for the office and library, or one of a kind jewelry, you'll find your next piece to gift or treasure at Caron Art Glass.

Dec 23, 2023From initial contact to delivery, Michelle has been nothing but a consummate professional. The piece she made is not only gorgeous, but exactly what I was hoping for when I first posted my request. I could not possibly be more happy with the work she has done, the speed she made the piece with, and her communication throughout the entire process, both in explaining the options available, and turning my idea into a treasured glass artwork.

Apr 26, 2014Michelle was fantastic to work with, I can't reccomend her highly enough, this is not the first time I have commissioned custom art work but it is by far the best experience I have ever had with an artist, she communicated clearly and often with photo's and updates and worked really hard to make sure the final product was as we had envisioned, she finished on time, on budget and the glass arrived with no damage whatsoever. We will defintely recommend her to friends and use her on future projects.

Dec 13, 2014Michelle is great to work with! This was my first time using CustomMade, Michelle helped me through the process and made the experience fun. Michelle is kind, creative and timely. She created a pendant for my sister's birthday inspired from a broach entitled "Breaking the Glass Ceiling" and included me in the whole process. I know my sister will love her birthday present!

Jan 22, 2018My interactions with Michelle Caron were absolutely fantastic! She was willing to produce exactly what I had in mind and even went out of her way to learn a new technique to accomplish this! She responded to my emails promptly and friendly every time I wrote. The product was more than I could have hope for. Beautifully crafted and I can't wait to see the final kitchen with her tiles as the focus! Thank you so much! Jeanette St George
