As most of you know I have all but stopped taking on new clients for custom inlays and clay design.
With the news of CPC closure, I feel like I should jump back in and try to make some time to help others realize their custom dreams before it's too late.
That said, when it comes to design it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve an end result like I have with my personal sets. My inbox has blown up and there's just no way I can help everyone that reaches out in a time crunch like this. Projects will have to be evaluated on a case by case basis. If you are reading this and considering making the leap before it's too late, feel free to shoot me a PM with your concept and we can go from there. Also include if you are looking for inlay work, clay design/consultation, or both.
As for the business side of things, I've always practically given away this work for free since there was no imminent deadline looming which allowed for projects to take as long as they needed. Kept it fun and enjoyable that way. My time to be able to do these things is in short supply as of late so there will be a non-refundable deposit of $100 before any work is started to avoid wasting resources during this short time we have. The big question is always what the total cost will be. This will also have to be evaluated case by case as some requests take much more time than others might. The more detailed your initial PM the more accurate your initial quote will likely be.
If you’ve sent a request in the past that I was unable to take on at the time feel free to just bump that with any more details you may have.
Looking forward to working with a few of you to create some amazing clay art one last time.
