Fabric for Life is hosting a quirky and highly creative exhibition entitled Glow, featuring handmade lampshades with Australian Indigenous fabrics. This is your chance to spice up your life and your home with beautiful handmade fabrics. There is sure to be plenty of diverse designs on show to delight Adelaidians.



Indigenous Textiles and Design
In recent years, there has been a revolution in the development of textiles and design in Indigenous communities across Australia. These lampshades have been handcrafted to showcase the spectacular fabrics that are being hand-printed in workshops in remote aboriginal art centres in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The artists draw on their land for their inspiration and share their stories and deep connection to country with us through their designs.



Unique Lampshades
Every lampshade is unique. Large and small lampshades in a range of fabrics for floor and table lamps will be included. Lampshades can also be manufactured to order. The Art Centres involved include Babbarra Designs and Injalak Arts from Arnhem Land, NT, Merrapen Arts from Daly River, NT and Nagula Jarndu from Broome WA. All fabrics have been bought directly from the art centres to ensure that profits are returned directly to the art centres and the artists.



Fabric for Life
Fabric for Life specialise in the conservation, restoration and display of new and antique textiles from around the world and sell a curated collection of handcrafted textiles.
