/ ROWENA LightenUp Handmade ‘Ibon’ 4099 Rowena Road, Rowena NSW 2387 Our online custom lampshade business is based on our farm 45 minutes east of Walgett and was started as a distraction from the drought and to channel our creativity in 2017. We added beeswax food wraps to our product line in 2018 and have also introduced hand turned timber lamp bases to compliment our lampshades at the beginning of 2019. We have many rural clients as we think everyone just wants a bit of colour as our surrounds are so drab. We have also started holding lampshade making workshops this year at Mink & Me in Coonamble and Walgett Library. Which is great for local rural women to have a nice relaxing productive day making something that is bright and colourful – a great get together. www.lightenuphandmade.com @lightenuphandmade.com 166 /
