We are absolutely delighted with the finished pieces. Gary is very easy to work with, he brings a wealth of practical experience and design knowledge and is able to communicate effectively with a range of people. The mosaics were completed to a very high standard and the finished product looks fantastic.”
I have produced this free booklet packed with useful information for anyone considering commissioning a mosaic artwork
Here you will learn
Your initial consultation meeting will look at 3 crucial factors which will influence your artwork:–
During this 30 minute consultation you will benefit from expert and specific advice on your project and we can discover how or if, we could work together and create something great for your home.
I know it can be a little daunting commissioning an artwork, and not being totally sure what you are going to get, but you don’t need to worry because YOU WILL KNOW exactly what you are getting, and be confident that it will be completely unique to you.
And here is how you can be sure… with my smooth 4 STAGE commission process:
STAGE 1 – Consultation, Listening to your needs and exceeding your expectations
STAGE 2 – Design, Award winning tailor made design just for you
STAGE 3 – Construction, Skilled creative craftsmanship that echoes your commitment to quality
STAGE 4 – Installation, Specialist mosaic installation service second to none.
Your FREE consultation – This is your chance, both to find out all you need to know about commissioning a mosaic and to see if I am the right artist for your project. We will discuss:-
After your initial FREE consultation if we decide we can work together, I will draw up a choice of design sketches based on our initial conversation. These are not finished designs but will give you a good chance to check we are on the right lines. In fact I think you will be thrilled already as over thirty years professional artist experience shows through. When you see the designs you will have three choices:–
If you choose 1. then we can shake hands, no hard feelings and nothing to pay. If you choose 2 or 3 then our formal contract can begin. I will head back to the studio and draw up the final stage design, incorporating any adjustments. At this stage the design fee will become chargeable.
I will then return with a more worked-up details and full colour scale design. If you are not totally thrilled with the design, 9 out of 10 clients are, then we can make more adjustments, together we will get the right design for you.
Your mosaic is will be carefully crafted in my London studio by myself and my studio assistant. Every piece of your mosaic is hand cut and placed to create an artwork as unique as your own fingerprint.
During the construction phase you are welcome to visit the studio and see your work develop and grow, you can even place a piece of mosaic yourself. If you can’t make it in, I can send you pictures so you can see your beautiful work develop.
Once the construction of the mosaic is complete I will send you a photograph of the work laid out in the studio, or again you can visit to inspect. When you have approved your completed mosaic it will be packed and crated ready for shipment to your site.
We are very proud of our mosaic installation service, which we believe is second to none – that’s because with our service you have the same craftsmen that made your mosaic carrying out the installation. This means that the love and skill that went into the making is carried through into the installation. But you don’t have to take our word on the quality of our mosaic installations, The National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (USA), The Worshipful Company of Tylers and Bricklayers (UK), The Flooring Contractors Association (USA) and The National Tiling Contractors Association (USA) have all presented us awards for our mosaic installations.
