We keep a wide range of prints, framed and unframed in stock, but we can go out of stock especially the Peter Brook prints. Please allow 28 days for delivery, usually orders will be dispatched before the 28 days , but at busy times it can take time to get artists to sign artwork, as they may be at exhibitions etc. After September heading towards Christmas is the busiest time, expect up to 4 weeks delay, so order early for Christmas.

Small orders are despatched via Royal mail, larger items are sent via courier.

All framed prints are professionally mounted before framing and have a good size mount.

We will inform you of any undue delay, and will keep you updated with your order,

We can now ship prints to Europe and USA.

Any questions please phone, write or email me.

COMMISION ARTWORK

Sometimes it is nice to have a commission piece of artwork done. this allows you to tailor the picture with colours and details to suit you. But there are positives and negative points to having a commission done.

On the positive, the artwork is exclusive to yourself, you can choose the size and design to suit your home and requirements.

On the negative, sometimes a person is too strict and exacting in the picture they require and where an artist will try there best to meet your design, if it is too exacting then the artist is not free to flow and put there own style into the picture. I have seen people get commission who have been to rigid and the artist has produced exactly as required but the picture is not right, and has not been allowed to flow.

If you decide to go ahead with a commission please give as much information as possible, try to specify the elements which are important in the picture, but please allow the artist to put there own feeling and art into the picture otherwise it will not live up to what imagine in your head.

I will try and give you an estimate of cost at time of booking a commission and will take a small deposit, the cost is not a quote, materials and artist cost can change, I will do my best to be as accurate as possible at time of booking.

PRODUCT CARE

Please ensure that you follow the care label instructions when washing or cleaning a product purchased from us, to ensure you keep your item in pristine condition for many years to come.
