If you are commissioning a piece, in most cases, Anita is happy to provide free initial designs. She normally works from photos or sketches and does her designs in Microsoft paint. Most designs can be done from anywhere in the world by email. There is then a chance to change details and colour scheme. She may ask for photos of colour schemes and clothes.  Any photos will be returned or deleted when a job is completed.
If you wish for a photo disc of the stages this is possible for a small charge,

When commissioning, you will be given a guideline price before the design stage.
You will then usually give a final quote and deadline with the designs including packing and delivery charges.
On acceptance of a design, you will be asked for 50 % of the money as a deposit to begin the commission.
When the work is completed you will be emailed with a  picture of the final item.

If you want to have a personalised message it should be emailed at this stage.
When you have seen and approved the final item the balance is then due plus any delivery or packing charges.
This is when the balance has to be paid. If you are late picking up an item it will still be invoiced at completion.
A photograph will be sent for your approval before the item is varnished.
Once the varnish is applied no changes can be made.
On receipt of the balance, the item will be packed and delivered to you by courier or First class post as specified. Wherever possible, Anita will try to avoid delivery charges and hand deliver or agree a meeting.
Work is often packed up and sent abroad if possible with a tracker (if available) and always there is adequate insurance.

A deposit is taken for half the money on reserving a space.
Workshops are small with a maximum of three persons.
Workshops are for groups of friends or individuals.
Anita is CRB checked and used to working with children.
She has a current First Aid certificate.
