Handmade lampshades, vintage finds, and creative workshops for home décor

Handmade lampshades bring warmth, texture and personality into contemporary home décor. At Lucas Miles Atelier, vintage lamps are often restored and paired with bespoke lampshades while textile art and tufting techniques inspire creative workshops and handcrafted pieces for the home.

Welcome to Lucas Miles Atelier – a creative studio for lighting, textile art and interior inspiration in La Herradura

Our workshops offer an immersive introduction to textile art and tufting techniques. Participants explore materials, texture and colour while creating their own handmade piece. These creative sessions provide a relaxed and inspiring environment to learn new skills and experience the joy of making.

Handmade Lampshade and custom made lampshades

Light & Shade in lighting design

At Lucas Miles Atelier, we’re passionate about lighting—especially the charm of vintage lamps and the beauty of handmade shades. We love uncovering forgotten treasures and designing custom lampshades to complement them, creating truly one-of-a-kind lighting pieces.

Have an old shade you'd like to refresh? We can upcycle it using the original frame, reimagining it with your choice of fabric, lining, and trim. Whether it’s a table lamp, pendant light, or wall sconce, we can help you add a splash of colour, a touch of elegance, or something entirely unique to your home.

We also offer matching cushions to complete the look.

INTRODUCING

Our featured artists

Noor Houtakkers international textile and tattoo artist

Noor Houtakkers

Noor is a 31-year-old artist based in Amsterdam, where she lives with her husband, their newborn baby girl Mickey, and their faithful, adorable dog Sulley. Her work is deeply inspired by the captivating beauty of the natural world and its profound connection to the organic essence of the female form. Through her art, Noor explores the intricate relationship between femininity and nature, seeking to celebrate the inherent beauty of women while drawing from the patterns and textures found in the environment.

Working across a diverse range of mediums — from digital art and painting to textiles and tattooing — Noor brings to life the symbiotic bond between woman and nature. Each medium offers her a unique way to express different facets of this vision, whether through intricate textile designs or vibrant digital compositions. Her art is a heartfelt celebration of the connectedness and beauty shared by women and the natural world.

Noor’s digital prints are available exclusively at the Lucas Miles Atelier.

Javier (Fran) Korral

Award-winning international artist Frank Korrall (signature FranK), from the village of Nigüelas, creates bold, expressive paintings and sculptures inspired by both people and place. His favourite subjects range from portraits — real and imagined — to sweeping landscapes of the Alpujarras, Granada, the Lecrín Valley, and the southern Spanish coast.

With over 4,000 works to his name and exhibitions in Oslo, Paris, Germany, Australia, and across Spain, Frank’s career spans more than 50 national and international shows. Trained in design, sculpture, and stone carving, he combines technical mastery with an instinctive, emotional approach to his art. Many of his pieces are created on commission, while others emerge simply because “the body asks” him to make them.

Frank’s work can now be discovered in La Herradura at Lucas Miles Atelier, alongside a curated collection of art and design celebrating creativity and craftsmanship.

Annie Peters

Annie Peters is the creator behind Sweet Nature Photography—a collection of striking, heartfelt images inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Her work includes fine art photography prints and handmade art cards, available framed or ready to gift, now exclusively in La Herradura at Lucas Miles Atelier.

Although British-born, Annie spent 14 years living in Georgia, USA, where she discovered her love for photography—especially bird photography. Her fascination with hummingbirds became the foundation of her portfolio and her enduring artistic style.

After returning to the UK in 2017, Annie expanded her portfolio, selling at local galleries, craft fairs, and country retail outlets in Kent and North Wales. Her delicate yet vibrant images quickly became favourites among collectors.

Now settled in La Herradura, Spain, Annie has created a special Spanish collection celebrating the region’s charm through colourful windows, striking blue doors, and the flora and fauna of Andalusia. From sunlit bougainvillea to fishing village details, her photography beautifully reflects coastal life in southern Spain.

You can often spot Annie wandering the streets with her camera, ready to capture the next perfect shot for her ever-growing portfolio.

Custom lampshades, vintage lamps and tufting workshops – frequently asked questions

How long do the tufting workshops last?

Our tufting workshops are offered in several formats, including shorter introductory sessions and longer creative workshops. Each session provides time to learn the tufting process, experiment with materials and complete a handmade textile art piece to take home.

Do I need previous experience to join a tufting workshop?

No previous experience is required. Tufting workshops are designed for beginners and creative visitors who want to explore textile art in a supportive studio environment. Participants are guided step by step through tools, yarn selection and the tufting process.

Can I order custom lampshades for my home?

Yes. Custom lampshades are handmade in the atelier using carefully selected fabrics and materials. Each lampshade is created to complement the lamp base and surrounding interior, resulting in a unique lighting solution tailored to your home.

Can vintage lamps be restored and rewired?

Vintage lamps can often be carefully restored and fitted with new electrical components that meet modern safety standards. This allows the original character of the lamp to be preserved while ensuring it functions safely in contemporary interiors.

Can an existing lampshade be refreshed?

Many lampshades can be refreshed by reusing the existing frame and recovering it with new fabric. This lampshade refresh service is a sustainable way to update lighting while preserving the structure and giving the piece a completely new look.

Are workshops available in English and Spanish?

Workshops are offered in English, with some Spanish spoken. The experiential and visual nature of the classes mean that fluency is not necessary, however, it can be requested prior to booking. It makes all workshops fully accessible to local residents as well as international visitors in Southern Spain.
