Shining Light Studio originated as a stained glass business and has branched into copper sculpture as well.

My Flowering Lotus lamp and base are done!
The shade is a Tiffany reproduction and the base is a copper sculpture with water lily buds and flowers and is surrounded with Psalm 23 The Lord leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
I made the shade many years ago and sold it to very close friends who recently gifted it back to me. I made the copper sculpture base to complement the shade and am keeping the lamp for our own family.

Nearing completion of this 34 inch tall copper sculpture lamp base of a pond scene with water lilies. The lamp shade to go on this base is a Tiffany reproduction of his Flowering Lotus as seen in the last picture.
I am adding a Bible verse to go around the bottom of the base from Psalm 23. (The Lord) leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
A LOT of cleaning before the rich warm brown patina is added.

It's getting cold out up here in Minnesota so I wanted to share a springtime scene.

A great day to visit the studio. Dark and rainy weather shows off the lamp colors beautifully. But call ahead as I am easily distracted!

I am happy to say this lamp has found a home in North Carolina. Thank you James P.

I have not posted this lamp in a while. It is made of sliced and polished Petrified Wood shades on a copper sculpture tree base. It measures 42 inches tall and 24 inches across and has 4 separate shades inserting into the base. It is the most difficult lamp I've ever worked on and weighs about 70 pounds.

It occurs to me that I didn't post pictures of the Paper Birch Tree lamp I finished this spring.
It is 32 inches tall and 21 inches across with a 12 inch footprint. It is illuminated with 3 soft white LED bulbs.

I just finished this lamp today and am happy to show off a bit!
The shade is made of copper sculpture branches over sliced and polished Blue Mixon agate provided by my friend Wayhu Rizon from Indonesia. The leaves and acorns adorning the skirt of the shade are copper sculpted White Oak.
It measures approximately 17 inches across and 24 inches tall and illuminated with 4, 60 watt equivalent LED bulbs.

Everything is in the messiest stage of development but the pictures show the first set of Oak leaves and acorns temporarily attached to this 16 inch wide lamp shade and the second set of leaves being soldered together for their own placement on the shade.
Lots more work to do but this is a very rewarding stage in the creation of this lamp.

Very crowded in the studio until frost danger is over!

This little Brazilian agate lamp is 17 inches tall and 7 inches across. It has a copper sculpture tree trunk base and illuminates with 2 candelabra LED soft white bulbs. The colorful glass nuggets add a lot of cheerful color.
