Jerry designed and built a custom lamp for me. I needed the lamp to be able to telescope up and down. I added a further wrinkle with interchangeable custom lamp shades. The blown glass shades were beautiful, but very heavy which made the geometry of the lamp base a little tricky. Jerry worked diligently to make it all work perfectly and the finished product is both beautiful and functional. Jerry's communication throughout was fantastic and was usually accompanied by pictures showing progress. Jerry is a true craftsman and brings the unteachable secret-sauce called caring to his prodigious artistic and technical expertise. I highly highly recommend Jerry for anything requiring an artistic and engineering skill-set. It doesn't get better than Jerry!

A Custom Made buyer was browsing lamps and saw a Blooming Torchere that I have listed. The bloom inspired her. She wanted a dramatic pair of matching side lamps for a new sofa. I came up with a blooming idea for her lamps that round like the Torchere. Then the lamps moved to a table that was going between the sofa and the windows. This meant changing the shape of the lamps. In order to pull a wider than deep bloom, I needed a specific shape to help render the look we wanted. It was great fun working with the client while we resolved all the dimensional requirements for the new lamps. I sent many e-mails, drawings, and work-in-progress photos to keep my client up to date with the process. In the end, the choice was made for a custom shape drawn from a squashed piece of tubing I was working with in the shop. It had been formed to help us get the bloom shape we wanted. All of a sudden, it was special.
