I thought it would be interesting to show how glassblowing can be used for making lampshades!

What do you think?

Nice pieces. It would be cool to blow your own bases and shades, but hardly practical for a small scale "Hobby" shop. Next classes you take, why dont you try making a base or two. You could make "Mica" shades for them, as shown in your examples. Making a brass shade frame would be easy.
