Useful to know

Before we begin.

Can I request a particular colour combination?

Yes. Share the colours or a reference image and describe the finish you like. We agree the intended palette while allowing for the character of a handmade finish.

Can I include something sentimental?

Tell us what the item is and why it matters before sending it. We review its suitability and agree how it would be used before any permanent work begins.

Can you make matching sets?

Small coordinated sets can be discussed together. Shape, quantity, colours and the making schedule are agreed as one commission.

How long will making take?

Timing depends on the piece, inclusions, quantity and finishing. Share your preferred date at the start so the quotation can include an agreed schedule.
