Commissioning
Calligraphy commissioning - how does it work?
1. You tell us what you like to do. We discuss with you your requirements
2. When you place an order with a deposit, we place the order with
the artist for your artwork.
3. When the artwork is completed, we e-mail you to let you know.
4. When we have received the balance of payment, we despatch your
artwork within 48 hours.
5. We aim to provide the highest level of services.
Questions:
1. How do I start?
Contact us by email to
info@chinesgallery.co.uk
or telephone 01737 270622 (Monday to Friday 9:30 to 12:30 UK
time); or 44 1737 270622 (international)
2. Words - what are the typical writings commissioned?
Typically
customer commission first names, greetings, or other special message
held dear to their hearts.
3.
Time - how long does it take?
It normally takes between 3 weeks to 12 weeks. This will depend
on whether you want the calligraphy framed on scroll or unmounted.
For best result, we leave the mounting on brocade to dry naturally
before removing the artwork from the workshop.
4.
Calligraphy style - do I have a choice?
Yes.
Of course you have. To help you with your choice, we can also e-mail
you examples of calligraphy in the styles of grass, regular and
official script.
5.
Silk or rice paper - on which the calligraphy artwork is done?
We
generally use rice paper with or without gold flake. On request
we can also have calligraphy on silk.
6.
Artist signature, seal - do I have the artist signature and seal
on artwork?
Of
course you have. That is if you want to have the artist seal and
signature on your artwork. Afterall, we commission to your requirements.
7.
Brocade for a calligraphy scroll - do I have a choice?
We have a selection of nine brocades you can choose from.
8. Ink - what colour do you use?
We generally use black ink. If you prefer, it is possible that
a different colour is used.
9. Artists - who are they and what are their credentials?
We have hand picked three artists for our commissioning work. We
have chosen these three artists based on their quality of work,
consistency and reliability. When our customer want an artwork done,
they want them done to the highest standards, consistently and they
want them delivered on time as per artist schedule promised. You

You can have any size that you want. In general, they are 12"
by 12" for unmounted calligraphy works. Calligraphy scrolls
can be 48" by 14" or other sizes to meet your requirements.
We advise that you give us an idea of the dimensions and then we
consult the artist.

No. You get exactly what you want and quality you want. It starts
from £49.95 for 12" x 12" unmounted calligraphy
