Commission a work which holds what matters most.

Crafted from your story, for your space, entirely for you.

01. YOUR STORY, MADE VISIBLE

A private, intimate, completely exclusive experience — from first conversation to finished piece.

Some things live inside us for years — felt but unspoken. Known, but not yet visible. I've spent a lifetime learning to receive what people carry, and to make it into something real.

A commission begins there. With yours.

Through conversation, I find the thread — the colour, the feeling, the truth you want to live with. What follows is entirely private, entirely intimate, entirely yours. You'll be alongside the making — present for the journey from first mark to finished piece.

In a world where everything is shared, this belongs only to us.

02. THE EXPERIENCE

A journey made together, from first word to final reveal.

01 | 

A conversation — Over coffee, by video, phone, or message — where you share your story. What you're drawn to, what you want to hold, what matters. There are no wrong answers. This is where your commission begins.

02 | 

From that conversation, I'll shape a proposal — size, materials, colour direction, the timeline that's right for both of us. A 50% deposit begins the work.

03 | 

The work takes shape. Every stage is documented — held for your collectors booklet. Some collectors like to see the work emerging, others prefer the reveal. We'll agree at the start what feels right for you.

04 | 

When the work is complete, I'll share the final reveal — your first sight of the finished piece. Once you're ready, it travels to you, carefully packaged, ready to hang, ready to stay. Inside: your collectors booklet.

TIMELINE

Most commissions complete within 8-12 weeks. You will be given an accurate timeframe for delivery on booking. I take a small number of commissions at a time to ensure each piece receives full attention.

03. THE COLLECTORS BOOKLET

An addition so considered, it has become inseparable from the work itself.

Handmade, hand-printed, hand-stitched. A5, embossed with the studio mark, arriving in its own sleeve. Inside: images from the journey of making. Commentary on the work and the story it holds. A poem, written in response to what you shared and what the work became. A certificate of authenticity. It is a keepsake. A document. A piece of premium craft that is, in itself, a work of art. Not an add-on. Not an afterthought. The booklet is part of what a commission from this studio is — because the work holds your story in textile form, and the booklet holds it in words. Together, they become the complete thing.
