Commissions
It is a special thing to commission a sculpture. I will do all I can to make the very best carving, and throughout we’ll be working together to create a unique piece that is right for you. It’s exciting. Each and every sculpture commission is different, but a basic outline of my process follows.
After initial discussions, and site visit if needed, I will submit a proposal for the sculpture, outlining ideas with sketches and drawings, provide a timescale, plan, and confirm delivery and installation details.
Subsequently, if appropriate, a small clay maquette (scale model) incorporating ideas, will be produced.
When the drawings and maquette, are agreed upon, a suitable block of stone will be obtained for carving, and carving the sculpture will begin.
At this stage a deposit will be payable, the balance being due upon completion of the commission.
If you would like to discuss your ideas for commissioning a sculpture, please ring 01751 417398 or email.
