Handmade in the Cotswolds
Each Otter Lampshade is handmade in Ceridwen Hazelchild’s Nailsworth studio, where every design begins with moments spent outdoors observing the wildlife and landscapes of the British countryside. The flowing water, drifting reeds, and playful otters are designed to capture that quiet joy of spotting something special in nature — a small moment of wonder, brought gently into the home.
“This design was inspired by the excitement of spotting otters at the lakes near my home - watching them dive, twist and glide through the water, completely at ease in their world.”
— Ceridwen Hazelchild, Illustrator, Designer & Lampshade Maker
