How to Commission a Work

Drawing       Contact Mark by calling 716-655-0864 or emailing to Carroll.Mark@verizon.net  to discuss your project. Mark will give an estimate of the cost and time involved.  He can also estimate the cost of shipping and installation, if applicable. In some cases, a down payment may be required to cover cost of materials. For a large project, a contract may be necessary.
Maquette       The process starts with Mark making drawings or small clay maquettes so you can visualize how the final sculpture will appear.  This is the time to try different ideas, change forms around, or suggest different materials. Critique the proposed maquettes or drawings and decide which design you prefer.
Mark gets to work       Mark gets to work. Materials are purchased. Construction begins. Some limited changes can still be made, but by now most decisions should be resolved.  You are kept up to date with the progress of the work by either visiting the studio or viewing email photographs.
When finished       At the completion of the work, it is ready for final approval. The finished sculpture is then packed for delivery. Upon receipt of your check, it will be delivered. (The Sculpture Studio does not handle credit cards.)  Arrangements can be made for Mark to do the installation if necessary.
  

Sculpture installed

      Mark will make every effort to ensure that you feel part of the creative experience and that you are completely satisfied. Creating a sculpture is a personal expression and The Sculpture Studio wants you to be happy with your new art work.
