Commissions FAQ

What kind of custom work do you offer?

I create small ceramic animal figurines, such as pets or wildlife.

I describe my art style as cute, whimsical, simplistic, and cheerful, like an illustration come to life. The result is not an exact replica of the animal, but a stylized representation of its physical features and personality.

I will not copy another artist's work, nor will I sculpt licensed characters (i.e. fan art).

When do commissions open?

I only take on a few commissioned projects per year. Since I open commissions sporadically and for a very short time, I highly recommend signing up for email alerts to be notified of openings.

How do I order a custom figurine?

1. Submit an inquiry form with your contact information and details of your request.

2. We'll discuss the details and terms of the project, and I'll provide a price quote and estimated completion timeline.

  • You'll have the opportunity to request a mockup sketch of your project before I begin sculpting. This may incur a small, non-refundable deposit.

3. Once you approve the design and project details, you'll receive a final invoice for completion of the project.

  • Full payment is required for me to begin work. No refunds will be available once I start sculpting.
  • If you wish to terminate the project at this stage, that's okay! No further payment will be required, but the design fee (if applicable) will not be refunded.

4. Finally, I’ll get right to work on your special project! If desired, you’ll receive periodic updates until the project is complete.

How long will it take to finish a project?

Ceramics requires patience and can be temperamental. That said, the time it takes to complete a custom project will vary widely. For most of my projects, it takes between 6-10 weeks from start to finish, but could take longer.

Please note that I don't do rush orders. While I can give you an estimated completion time, I can't guarantee it will be ready by any specific date.

How much will it cost?

The cost for a custom project can vary widely! I base my pricing on a number of factors including: time, complexity, size, and more. At this time, custom work begins at $50 minimum, but typically range from $60-80+ for minis, and $100-200+ for larger pieces. My rates are subject to change though, and will probably increase over time as my skills improve.

If you're on a budget, and the price I've quoted you is too high, let me know! I'm happy to suggest design changes to keep the cost down, and it won't hurt my feelings at all.

Do you accept refunds or exchanges?

Custom or commissioned items are not eligible for refunds for any reason. Deposits made on commissioned items are also not eligible for refunds. 

Once I start a project, I likely won't be able to accommodate any changes to it.

If the item is defective, damaged, or if you receive the wrong item, contact me as soon as possible.

Can I approve the design before paying in full?

If you have a specific vision in mind, I want to make sure you'll be happy with the result! For a small deposit (aka design fee), I can provide 1-3 rough sketches of the planned design for you to approve or request changes. This deposit is non-refundable, but will apply toward the total payment of the project.

How will we communicate?

All communication will be via email. If you haven't heard from me within 72 hours after your inquiry form submission, contact me at fablewooddesignco@gmail.com.
