As you can tell from our home page, we take pride in our custom work. Everything we do is custom. Because of that you are not able to simply click on a product you want and order it. Your custom product needs to be developed. We look forward to working with you so it can be exactly what you need.

What is the price for creating custom art for my custom products?

Will you be able to give me a price over the phone?
Will you be able to give me a price over the phone?
We can price products on the phone for some items. Much of the time we need to see the art about which you are thinking before giving a price. This helps us assess what will be involved in creating your products.
Are you able to reproduce my artwork exactly as I send it?
Are you able to reproduce my artwork exactly as I send it?
It is our goal to do exactly that.
Things that play a role in accomplishing that are as follows…
- Images will look different on different substrates (products). Products have various ways of accepting the color that we apply.
- In order to stay in a customer’s budget, we can alter the art so that it is more economical to produce. All art must be approved by our customer before we go to production.
- When we receive images electronically (email etc.) the image you see you your monitor and the image that we see on our monitor can be two very different things; although they are usually fairly similar. To complicate things a bit more, not all printers are created equally. The image you print can be quite different than the one we print. The only way to overcome this issue is to put a printed image in the mail to us – Yes, “snail mail”. We will strive to create your product to match your image.
- There are some processes and techniques we use that call on us to actually mix up color pigments and kiln-fire them onto ware. If you give us a Pantone number we will strive to hit that. There are numerous variables that contribute to the color that comes out of the kiln. We usually come pretty close, but we do not guarantee an exact match.

Sometimes customer come to us knowing exactly what they want. They send art that is sized perfectly and ready to go. Other customers have simply said, “I need an ornament with our church on it.” We welcome both requests and everything in between. Our art team is adept at developing your ideas and finessing art so that it works well for any product we offer.
