Commissioning

Archbishop note

A note from the Archbishop, Rowan Williams

Please feel free to contact me directly by telephone on 01792 896748 or by email at judithporch1@gmail.com to discuss commissioning artwork with you. Each commission is unique and as such will need to be priced individually therefore the more information that you are able to supply the better.

The criteria which affect the price are;

  • Complexity of design
  • Writing surface – paper or vellum (calf skin)
  • Additional illustration
  • More than one language
  • Urgency of deadline

 

Price and Payment

Please bear in mind that each piece is created by hand so allow time for me to complete it. I will usually require a month lead time.
