HOW DOES THE COMMISSION PROCESS START?

The commission process begins with a conversation about your overall space, color ideas and the kind of artwork you are looking for.  Many clients pull images of past artwork from my website galleries as an inspiration starting point.  We can reference past artwork as the foundation for your original new piece, and discuss your needs for sizing and color.

All of our artwork is one-of-a-kind due to the nature of the handmade process.  Much of the work incorporates hand dyed and painted materials, making each piece unique. 

For commission projects, we can reference the originals/mock ups as the inspiration starting point for a new piece, but each final piece will be unique and one-of-a-kind.

Once we narrow down a design direction, a project quote is sent outlining the details and pricing.  After this is confirmed you will receive a commission contract outlining the project details, timeline and an invoice for payment.

HOW CAN I HANG MY PIECE?

We can mount your final piece in a few different ways. 

Fabric Covered Frame Mounting

Pieces using lightweight yarns are often mounted on a fabric covered frame.  These have finished edges and are wired to hang with no additional framing needed.  This method feels like a painting with clean, square edges.  The stretched frames can also be taken to a framer if you’d like any additional framing on the piece. 

Visible Wood Bar Mounting

We can also hang artwork with a wooden bar at the top.  Wooden bar mounting is ideal for pieces with heavier or thicker yarns.  They feel more like a textile tapestry and are hung with a french cleat to ensure flush contact against the wall. The textile hangs organically from the bar and can be rolled for shipping to save costs.  

Hidden Wood Bar Mounting

Artwork is mounted from a flat wood bar that is hidden in the back.  The textile drapes over the front and a metal cleat is attached to the back for hanging.  Often a metal dowel is added in a hidden casing at the bottom to provide even weight when hanging.

DO YOU FRAME ARTWORK?

At this time we do not offer additional custom framing of the artwork.  Once you receive your piece, we recommend working with a local art framing professional to choose the frame that works perfectly with your space.

HOW ARE COMMISSIONS PRICED?

Commission pricing is based on size, material and complexity of the project.  Commission pricing generally begins at $1,200 USD.   Commissions are priced 25-50% higher than in-stock artwork due to the custom nature of the project.

Commissions are not available for a trade discount.

WHAT FORM OF PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED?

Invoices for payment are sent via Stripe.  They can be paid via credit card.  Large trade projects can be paid via ACH/Wire transfer.  100% payment for all custom projects is due upon receipt of invoice and signing of commission contract.  Pricing does not include shipping/insurance/packaging which are invoiced when the piece is complete and prior to shipping. 

WHEN CAN I EXPECT THE COMMISSION TO BE COMPLETED?

Lead time is generally 6-8 weeks from payment of invoice, but will be confirmed once we discuss project scope.  Lead time depends on other projects at the time of confirming the project. 

HOW IS THE ARTWORK SHIPPED?

Commissions are shipped via UPS Ground.  Shipping costs are separate from the artwork pricing and will be invoiced upon completion of the work.  Shipping costs will include insurance and signature confirmation for the artwork.  If the commission is too large to ship via regular UPS, we are able to use freight to transport the artwork. 

DO YOU OFFER A TRADE DISCOUNT?

We offer a 10% trade discount on available artwork purchases over $1,200  Learn more about our trade program, here.  Commission projects are not available for a trade discount.  We do not offer a gallery/wholesale pricing structure.
