How to Commission Work

Commissions

Cost

Cloth-covered boxes start at $200

  • Standard clamshells and custom designs available.

I am not currently taking commissions for journals. 

​

Final pricing depends on materials and complexity. I will provide an estimate after we discuss your ideas.

​

Lead Time

  • Fine bindings take about 5 months to complete. I am currently booking for January of 2027. Boxes can be completed in about 2 months.

  • Boxes can often be done in between other projects, so please get in touch for info on when I can start a box making project.​

​

Payment

  • A $200 deposit is required to reserve your place in the queue. It is 100% refundable until work begins on your project. 

  • Once we finalize a design, a 50% payment of the remainder is due. 

  • The remaining balance and shipping costs are due upon completion. All payments are taken through Paypal Goods & Services. 

  • Payment plans are available upon request.
