Rosalind said: “I wanted to find a new kind of canvas for my paper art and noticed that the lampshades in my home were very dull.
"‘Why can’t they be made from paper and based on my designs?’ I asked myself. It took a while to work out how to turn flat paper into a workable lampshade but I did it and Papershades was launched about five years ago.”
Rosalind Freeborn appeared on Channel4’s Drawers Off: The Big Naked Painting Challenge in June.

The artist said she created The Lewes Papershade because her sister lives in the East Sussex town.
