Commissions
It is a special thing to commission a sculpture, and throughout the process we’ll be working together to create a unique piece that is made just for you.
Each and every sculpture commission, by its very nature, is different, but a basic outline follows.
Commissioning a Sculpture in stone
After initial discussions, and site visit if needed, you will receive a proposal for the sculpture, outlining ideas with sketches and drawings, with timescale, plan, and anticipated delivery and installation details.
Subsequently, if appropriate, a small clay maquette (scale model) incorporating ideas, will be produced.
Once you are happy with the proposed form, a suitable block of stone will be selected, and carving the sculpture will begin.
A deposit at the start of the commission will be payable, with the balance being due on completion.
If you would like to discuss your ideas for commissioning a sculpture, please telephone 01751 417398 or email.
