commissioning

Commissioning is one way in which new, inspirational work can be developed and brought into existence.

More often or not there is a desire for a creative solution to address a practical requirement or application.

Good design is a dialogue, a conversation, a journey and the chance to explore the perfect blend of form & function, listening, understanding and addressing a client’s wishes to create the perfect solution that will enrich and enlighten.

Each piece or project is generally a unique undertaking in its own right and as such will have its own set of variables and criteria such as scale, setting, aesthetic themes, budget and dynamic resonance for various locations including public space, private garden, schools, galleries, home or office.

Once the Spark is ignited... Usually a site visit is arranged to look at and ascertain all elements of setting and character to discuss and address what is important within the new work to develop a brief.

Alun Heslop will then explore ideas and generate concepts into workable solutions that fulfill and possibly exceed expectations of the brief.

After presentation/discussion of these working concepts a final design will be developed.

Depending on the scope of a project model making and mock up may take place in order to visualize the finished piece within its final setting.

When the final design has been approved we will ask for a deposit payment in order to reserve a creation schedule within an agreed timescale.

Depending on the scale and complexity of piece or project we may also agree an initial design fee prior to development of concepts and interim payments. A final payment will then be requested upon completion/ delivery/ installation.

Workshop visits are of course most welcome to see new pieces come to life...

We look forward to hearing from you.
