commissioned work

Starting the process

At this point I must assume that you have an idea of what you would like us to produce and by "us" - I refer to you and I. This is where my assumption ends.

Considering these first steps critical to the success of the project. I ask that you first be willing to introduce yourself and provide me with as much narrative and vision of your piece as possible. Take a moment to write down various questions and concerns you may have for your art to include basics, some of which may include:

• Interior or Exterior display.

• Dimensions.

• Deadlines.

• Weight restrictions.

• Metal Allergies.

• NSF or related food contact certifications.

It is my goal that with the first conversation, most of the basic questions will be answered and we may move on to the more pertinent details. During the commissioning process you may expect regular updates and emails which will include a diary of sorts of the birth of your work to include photographs, this will serve as various stages at which point you as the buyer may interject and voice additional requirements or clarification to the original idea.

There must be a mutual respect between buyer and artist in that there are no implied deadlines or "need it yesterday" type of timelines. I will start with a prototype of the work and if approved by (you) I will progress forward with the final materials and piece. It should go without saying that all works are handmade and produced domestically. Depending on the size of your project, you are welcomed to come visit the piece in person on site with prior notification.
