Commissions
Owning an original piece of art is an enjoyable experience.
You may have previously purchased art or have been unsuccessful in finding that
right piece - if so, why not commission a work direct from us?
The work will be
personal and unique - specifically produced for you. Each commission will vary
slightly in the steps taken from start to finish, as each circumstance is
unique.
Developing Your Brief
Recording all of your thoughts and ideas on paper and is an
important part of the commission process - it establishes exactly what is to be
achieved, and can be used as a point of reference.
Key Points to Consider
- Who or what is the work for? Is it for your home? Is it a
gift?
- Do you have any special requirements - for example the
dimensions of the work, where the work will go, its function and any special
materials to be used?
- Origination - do you want us to produce any sketches
for you to consider before commencing the work?
- What is your budget?
Remember - if you need help, please do not hesitate to
send us
an email.
Making an Agreement
When you are happy to go ahead with your commission, we will
need to finalise the brief ensuring you agree the materials the work is to be
constructed from, the timescale and the cost.
Commissioning a project is much
easier when the requirements are formalised. We can provide a standard contract
that we normally use when agreeing a commission.
Payment Structure
Our normal practice is to charge one-third upon agreeing the
commission, a second payment mid way through the process and the final payment
on completion and delivery of the artwork.
Ownership & Moral Rights
We retain first ownership of a work of art that we have
created, and reserve the right to use images of the work for publicity and
marketing purposes.
You will own the commissioned work, but you will not have
duplication rights without prior agreement from us.
We will not sell prints of
your original without your prior agreement.
We would love to hear your comments following completion -
feedback on the success of your commission is of mutual benefit.
Finally, be sure to take pride in your personal and unique
piece of artwork!
