What do you need to start?
A description of the idea, the approximate size and the place the piece is meant for.
Process
From first idea to finished piece.
Four steps that keep scope, materials and price clear before any work begins.
How it works
Each step is agreed in writing.
Nothing is made until the previous step is settled.
Conversation
You describe the idea, the size and where the piece will live.
Sketch and quote
A sketch and a written quote set out the scope, the materials and the price.
Making
Work begins once the quote is accepted; changes are handled as written variations.
Handover
The finished piece is packed and collected or shipped as agreed.
Details
Practical questions about a commission.
The answers that keep a project on track.
Is a deposit required?
For commissions a deposit is set out in the quote, and it is stated before work starts.
Can the brief change later?
Yes, up to the point agreed in writing; extra work is handled as a written variation.
Who owns the design?
Design rights and registration questions are settled in a separate agreement.
Next step
Talk the idea through.
A short conversation is often the fastest way to find out what a piece would take.
