HOW DOES THE COMMISSION PROCESS START?
We would love to work with you on a custom project. Please email me at jessiebloomstudio@gmail.com so we can discuss the details of your project.
The commission process begins with a conversation about your overall space, color ideas and what kind of artwork you are looking for. Many clients pull images of past artwork from my galleries as an inspiration starting point. We can reference past artwork as the foundation for your original new piece, and discuss your needs for sizing and color.
All of my artwork is one-of-a-kind due to the nature of the handmade process. Much of my work incorporates hand dyed and painted materials, making each piece unique.
For commission projects, we can reference the originals/mock ups as the inspiration starting point for a new piece, but each final piece will be unique and one-of-a-kind.
Once we narrow down a design direction, I will send over a project quote outlining the details and pricing. After this is confirmed, you will receive a commission contract outlining the project details, timeline and an invoice for payment.
HOW CAN I HANG MY PIECE?
We can mount your final piece in a few different ways. Pieces using lightweight yarns are often mounted on a linen covered canvas. These have finished edges and are wired to hang as they are with no additional framing needed. This method feels like a painting with clean, square edges. The linen frames can also be taken to a framer if you’d like any additional framing on the piece.
I also finish artwork with a wooden bar at the top. Wooden bar mounting is ideal for pieces with heavier or thicker yarns. They feel more like a textile tapestry and are hung with a french cleat to ensure flush contact against the wall. The textile hangs organically from the bar and can be rolled for shipping to save costs.
DO YOU FRAME ARTWORK?
At this time I do not offer additional custom framing of the artwork. Once you receive your piece, you can work with a local art framing professional to choose the frame that works perfectly with your space.
HOW ARE COMMISSIONS PRICED?
Commission pricing is based on size, materials and complexity of the project. Commission pricing generally begins at $1200 USD. Commissions are priced 25-50% higher than in stock artwork.
Commissions are not available for a trade discount.
WHAT FORM OF PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED?
Invoices for payment are sent via Stripe. They can be paid via credit card. Large trade projects can be paid via ACH/Wire transfer. 100% payment for all custom projects is due upon receipt of invoice and signing of commission contract.
WHEN CAN I EXPECT THE COMMISSION TO BE COMPLETED?
Leadtime is generally 6-8 weeks from payment of invoice, but will be confirmed once we discuss project scope.
HOW IS THE ARTWORK SHIPPED?
Commissions are shipped via UPS Ground. Shipping costs are separate from the artwork pricing and will be invoiced via Stripe upon completion of the work. Shipping costs will include insurance and signature confirmation for the artwork. If the commission is too large to ship via regular UPS, we are able to use freight and/or crating to transport the artwork.
DO YOU OFFER A TRADE DISCOUNT?
I offer a 10% trade discount on available artwork purchases over $1,200 Learn more about our trade program, here. Commissions projects are not available for a trade discount.
