How much do you charge?
Of course it's impossible to generalise, and you're best bet is to email us for a price estimate. In the name of being honest & up-front, our rates for mosaic work usually vary between $3,000 to $6,000 per square metre ($300-$600 per square foot) That includes design work, but doesn't include the costs for shipping, installation or the cost to use outside parties (i.e. blacksmith, framers etc.)
As a rule, we ask for 50% of the commission amount up-front with the balance payable prior to shipping/installation. We can tailor payment programmes for larger or commercial projects.
What payment methods are available?
We accept Visa/Mastercard, Paypal, online bank transfers, cheques or money orders subject to bank clearance.
How long do commissions usually take?
Our backlog and work programme can vary considerably, and can’t be generalised. We don't like to rush artworks so patience on your part generally is well rewarded!
We always estimate time frames when we provide quotes, and generally adhere to them well. As a rule, orders are handled on a first-come-first-served basis.
Can your mosaics handle beachside and/or freezing conditions?
Beachside conditions are no problem - all our ironwork is treated against rust. Freezing conditions can be a problem for some of our ceramic tiles, so please let us know if you intend to expose your piece to the weather in areas subject to heavy frosts. We can then ensure the correct tesserea are used.
Can your mosaic tables and benchtops be stain-proofed?
All our pieces are sealed with an acrylic coating which prevents penetration of liquid into the grout or tiles. Cleaning is usually as simple as wiping with a damp cloth - made for Red wine!
Can you copy a design from your website?
We won’t copy designs we’ve already created, but can usually come up with derivatives to suit your requirements. Many of the early designs could be re-created with finer detail and improved colours.
Can you make a mosaic from my own designs or picture?
Yes. We can use your design or photograph as a starting point, provided it doesn't infringe on another artist's copyright - morally or legally. Some flexibility is usually required on your part to agree on a final design.
Can you forward larger pieces overseas?
Yes. Most of the international couriers will handle our larger pieces by airfreight, and delivery will usually only take a week or two. We prefer not use seamail, due to the time frames and lack of control during transit.
