Commission Weaving

INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED FABRICS FOR CLOTHING AND INTERIORS

I offer a personal design and weave service, producing innovative and unique one-off textiles of superb quality. I aim to create textiles with stunning colours, unusual textures, beautiful handle, and yet have total practicality in their use.

Examples of past work can be viewed in the gallery - this page is being developed.


COMMISSIONS - TERMS OF BUSINESS

Weaving commissions are undertaken as follows:

1. Initial consultation is free and if we are to proceed it will be followed by a written design brief as understood and a written estimation of the costs.

2. On your written confirmation that a weaving is to be commissioned, I will design the cloth and present drawn design ideas, with examples of yarn/colour. A charge of £200 will be made for this service. This will act as a non-returnable deposit, which will be deducted from the final account when the commission is accepted.

3. Warps of woven design ideas will be produced at a charge of £200 each.

4. THE COMMISSION WILL BE HAND WOVEN.
