Scope first / Then a proposal
Every commission has its own requirements. The prices above are indicative starting points; a written proposal confirms the scope, materials, usage and delivery before work begins.
How does a commission begin?
Send a short introduction to your project, your preferred scale and any relevant references. We agree a direction and written scope before work starts.
What determines the final price?
Size, materials, the number of works, production requirements and usage all influence the proposal. Packing, shipping and any applicable taxes are confirmed separately.
How long does the process take?
The schedule depends on the scope and current studio commitments. A delivery window is agreed in the proposal, with time set aside for development and review.
Can work be made for an international project?
Yes. Remote collaboration and delivery requirements can be discussed at the enquiry stage. Shipping arrangements and digital usage are agreed for each project.
