Commission our artists, makers and creatives
If you enjoy the signature style of an individual artist or maker whose work you have seen in our galleries but do not see exactly what you are looking for, you might like to commission them to create a one-off bespoke piece for you. Many of our artists and makers specialise in interpreting clients’ needs in their unique style, and we love to enable this for you and for them.
Bespoke pieces our artists and makers can create for you include a drawing of your property, a pet portrait, a larger work of art for your home or business, a bespoke piece of glassware as a gift, a personalised book cushion, or a decorative object for your home in metal or wood – and many more.
To commission a piece, contact the galleries lead Sarah Gibbon who will take your contact details and arrange for you to have a no-obligation exploratory discussion with the artist(s). This can be face-to-face in the galleries or by phone. Once you have formally agreed the project, schedule and price with the selected artist - in writing please, to avoid any misunderstandings - Sarah will be notified by the artist and she will get in touch with you to take the payment and make the delivery/collection arrangements on their behalf. Sarah will also transfer the monies due to them on completion of the project.
A deposit of 50% is usually required to secure the commission, with the balance due once you have approved the final piece, before you take on ownership of it. Payment can be made online on this website by PayPal or by card, by phone by card, or by card or cash at both the galleries. Invoices can be supplied on request.
Please use the contact form on this website, email shorelinegallerias@gmail.com or call Sarah using the mobile number on her business card (which will have been given to you in the galleries if you made a purchase or a commission enquiry).
