Order FAQ

What’s the difference between the Classic Collection designs and Custom Glass Cathedrals?
Classic Collection artworks are open edition, i.e. multiples can be made. They capture my ideas about the beauty, poetry and craziness of being human.
Prices start at £420 and the lead time to delivery is 2-6 weeks.
Custom artworks are as unique as the lives we lead, capturing the most elusive and precious treasure of life – memories and relationships – with the tiny figures resembling real people (and animals!) in the setting of your choice. They often celebrate big birthdays, weddings and special relationships.
Prices start at £790 and the lead time to delivery is 8-10 weeks.

Is any personalisation of Shop designs possible?
For many Classic Collection designs, personalisation (of the figures you see in the Shop photos) is possible where specified on the artwork description, and is included in the price. For example, in Me without You below the figures’ hair and skin colour is personalisable.
Can I add extra custom elements to Classic designs?
For some designs you can switch in and/or add, custom figures or backgrounds. Please contact me via Contact form to discuss.
Can I add a personal message on the artwork?
Yes, I can handwrite a short personal message on the side signature plate if you request it.
What are Glass Cathedrals made of?
The miniature scenes are housed in white-painted wooden boxes, fronted by glass.
The model-railway figurines are painted, and at times augmented with clay, paper, and other ephemera such as specks of glitter and tiny sequins. The interiors are often layered with glitter.
Because each order is handmade, they may vary slightly from photos.
How do I display and care for my Glass Cathedral?
Glass Cathedrals have a french cleat built into the top back of the frame.
They hang on a nail or French cleat (provided) on the wall, or can sit on a shelf.
They should be displayed away from direct sunlight and avoid humid conditions eg. bathrooms.
Glass can be taken out and cleaned with normal glass cleaner.
