A Few Gentle Rules

Practical understandings

A clear understanding gives imagination room to flourish.

I. An Original Work

A commission is an interpretation in the Conservator’s style. Exact copies of earlier Artifacts or another artist’s designs are not offered.

II. Time & Patience

Completion dates are estimates, shaped by complexity, materials, and studio schedules. Meaningful changes will be communicated.

III. Prices & Deposits

The quote reflects size, labor, and materials. Deposit, refund terms, and payment milestones are specified in the proposal.

IV. Changes & Cancellations

Please bring up changes and issues right away. Adjustments after approval may affect cost or timing; cancellation terms are agreed before work starts.

V. Purpose & Care

Let us know if the piece must hold water, touch food, endure heat, or live outdoors. Suitability will be confirmed in advance.

VI. Delivery & Privacy

Packing and shipping costs are agreed in advance. Finished work may be photographed for our records; privacy requests are welcome.
