Commission Terms and Conditions
Thank you for considering Kay Parker Art to create your bespoke stained glass and wood sculpture.
Every commission is individually designed and handcrafted with care, creativity and attention to detail. We believe that commissioning an original piece of artwork should be an enjoyable and collaborative experience, and we work closely with each client from the initial concept through to the finished sculpture,
As each piece is unique and created specifically for the person commissioning it, these Terms and Conditions explain how we work, what you can expect from us and what we ask from you throughout the process. They are intended to provide clarity, transparency and peace of mind for both parties.
If you have any queries at any stage, we are always happy to discuss your commission.
The Commission Process at Kay Parker Art
- Initial Enquiry
We begin with a conversation about your ideas, inspiration, preferred size, colours, materials, intended location and budget. This helps us understand your vision and determine whether we are the right fit for your project.
- Design Consultation
Where appropriate, we will prepare sketches, concept drawings or digital visualisations to develop the design. During this stage, we welcome your feedback and will work with you to refine the proposal.
- Quotation
Once the design has been agreed in principle, we will provide a written quotation detailing the scope of work, estimated completion time and payment schedule.
Unless otherwise stated, quotations remain valid for 30 days.
- Deposit
A non-refundable deposit is required before any materials are ordered or work begins.
Receipt of the deposit confirms acceptance of both the quotation and these Commission Terms & Conditions.
- Design Approval
Before construction begins, you will have the opportunity to approve the final design.
Please check all dimensions, colours, wording (where applicable) and specifications carefully. Once approval has been given and production has started, changes may not be possible or may incur additional costs and revised completion dates.
- Creation
Your sculpture will be handcrafted using carefully selected materials and traditional craftsmanship.
Because every artwork is individually made, slight variations in timber grain, glass texture, colour and other natural characteristics are part of the unique beauty of the finished piece.
- Completion and Delivery
When your sculpture is complete, we will contact you to arrange a mutually convenient delivery date.
As many of our sculptures are large, delicate or both, we normally deliver them personally to ensure they arrive safely.
Delivery charges are discussed and agreed separately before your commission is confirmed, as they vary depending on destination, accessibility and the size of the artwork.
- Aftercare
We want your sculpture to be enjoyed for many years to come. Where appropriate, we will provide guidance on cleaning, handling and ongoing care.
If you have any questions after delivery, we are always pleased to help.

Delivery and collection policy
Last Updated: 29th July 2026
- Our Delivery Approach
At Kay Parker Art, every sculpture is individually handcrafted and many of our pieces are large, fragile and unique.
To help ensure your artwork arrives safely, we normally arrange and carry out delivery ourselves rather than using standard courier services.
- Delivery Areas
We currently accept commissions and deliver within the United Kingdom only.
If you are located outside our usual delivery area, please contact us before placing an order and we will discuss whether delivery can be arranged.
- Delivery Costs
Because every sculpture is different in size, weight, fragility and destination, delivery costs are calculated individually.
Delivery charges are not included in the quoted artwork price unless specifically stated.
We will discuss delivery requirements with you and agree the cost before your commission is confirmed.
- Arranging Delivery
Once your sculpture is complete and full payment has been received, we will contact you to arrange a suitable delivery date.
We will provide an estimated delivery timeframe wherever possible.
Completion and delivery dates are estimates only and may be affected by circumstances outside our reasonable control.
- Access Requirements
Before delivery, you must provide accurate information about the delivery location.
Please inform us of any circumstances that may affect safe delivery, including:
- narrow doorways or corridors;
- stairs or difficult access;
- limited parking;
- gated access;
- uneven ground;
- restrictions affecting vehicle access.
Failure to provide accurate information may result in delays or additional delivery charges.

Unless specifically agreed in writing, delivery does not include installation, fixing, electrical connection or preparation of the installation location.
If installation services are offered, these will be discussed separately and included within your quotation.
- Receiving Your Sculpture
Please ensure that an appropriate adult is available to receive the sculpture.
You should inspect the artwork upon delivery and notify us as soon as reasonably possible if you believe there is any damage or issue.
This does not affect your statutory consumer rights.

Where collection is agreed, collection arrangements will be made by appointment only.
You are responsible for ensuring that your vehicle and transport arrangements are suitable for safely transporting the sculpture.
Returns, cancellations and refunds policy
Last Updated: 29th July 2026
- Bespoke Artwork
At Kay Parker Art, every sculpture is individually designed and handcrafted specifically for each customer.
Because our work is made to your individual requirements, bespoke commissions are not treated in the same way as standard off-the-shelf products.
- Cancellation Before Production Begins
If you wish to cancel a commission before production begins, please contact us as soon as possible.
Where cancellation is accepted, any refund will take into account reasonable costs already incurred, including:
- design work completed;
- materials purchased specifically for your commission;
- preparation work undertaken.
- Cancellation After Production Begins
Once production has started, cancellation will normally not be possible because significant time, labour and materials will have been committed to creating your sculpture.
Deposits are non-refundable once work has commenced.
- Changes to Your Commission
We welcome collaboration during the design stage.
Once final approval has been given and production begins, changes may not be possible. If changes can be accommodated, additional costs and revised completion times may apply.
- Faulty or Incorrect Items
Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
If your sculpture is faulty, damaged, not as described or does not meet the requirements of UK consumer law, please contact us promptly.
We will work with you to resolve the issue in accordance with your legal rights.
- Refunds
Where a refund is agreed, it will normally be made using the original payment method.
Refund timescales will depend on the circumstances and payment provider.
Care and maintenance guide for your sculpture
Caring for Your Bespoke Stained Glass and Wood Sculpture
Your sculpture has been individually handcrafted using carefully selected materials. With appropriate care, it should provide enjoyment for many years.
- Handling
Please handle your sculpture with care.
Avoid lifting or moving the artwork by delicate areas, glass sections, decorative elements or unsupported components.
Where possible, move the sculpture with assistance appropriate to its size and weight.
- Stained Glass Care
To maintain the beauty of the stained glass:
- clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth;
- avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals;
- do not apply pressure to glass panels or decorative sections;
- avoid sudden temperature changes where possible.
- Wood Care
Wood is a natural material and will continue to change subtly over time.
Variations in grain, colour and texture are part of the character of natural timber.
To care for wooden elements:
- use only suitable wood care products where recommended.
- Environment
Where possible, display your sculpture in an environment that avoids:
- accidental knocks or impacts.
- Repairs and Restoration
If your sculpture requires repair or restoration, please contact Kay Parker Art before arranging work with another person.
Unauthorised alterations or repairs may affect the integrity and value of the artwork.
We will be happy to discuss restoration options where possible.
The commission process
At Kay Parker Art, every sculpture begins with an idea and develops through a personal, collaborative process.
Whether you have a clear vision already or simply an inspiration you would like to explore, we work closely with you to create a unique piece of artwork designed specifically for you and your chosen space.
- Initial Enquiry
The process begins with a conversation.
We would love to hear about your ideas, inspiration, preferred materials, colours, approximate size, intended location and any special meaning you would like your sculpture to convey.
At this stage, we will discuss your requirements and advise whether your project is something we can create.
- Consultation and Concept Development
Once we understand your vision, we begin developing the concept.
This may include discussions about:
- the overall shape and character of the sculpture;
- the balance between stained glass and wood elements;
- colours, textures and finishes;
- dimensions and display location;
- practical considerations such as access and installation.
We believe the best commissions come from collaboration, allowing your ideas and our craftsmanship to come together.
- Design and Quotation
Following our discussions, we will prepare a proposal and quotation based on the agreed concept.
Where appropriate, we may provide sketches, drawings or visual concepts to help you understand how the finished sculpture may develop.
The quotation will outline:
- the proposed design;
- materials;
- estimated completion timeframe;
- payment arrangements;
- delivery considerations.
- Approval and Deposit
Once you are happy with the proposed design, we will confirm the commission details.
A deposit is required before work begins. This allows us to schedule your commission, source materials and begin the creative process.
Your approved design forms the foundation of the sculpture.
- Creating Your Sculpture
This is where your artwork comes to life.
Each sculpture is carefully handcrafted using traditional techniques, with attention given to the natural qualities of the materials.
Because every piece is made by hand, the process may include subtle variations that make your sculpture truly one of a kind.
We will keep you updated on progress where appropriate.
- Completion and Final Payment
Once your sculpture is complete, we will arrange the final details with you.
The remaining balance is payable before delivery unless otherwise agreed.
We will discuss delivery arrangements to ensure your artwork arrives safely at its new home.
- Delivery and Enjoyment
Because our sculptures are often large, fragile and unique, we normally deliver them ourselves.
Delivery arrangements and costs are agreed individually with each client.
Once installed or placed in its chosen location, your sculpture becomes a lasting piece of artwork created specifically for you.
Begin Your Commission
If you have an idea for a bespoke stained glass and wood sculpture, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact Kay Parker @ Kay Parker Art to begin the conversation.
Frequently asked questions
How do I commission a sculpture?
The first step is simply to get in touch.
We will discuss your ideas, requirements, intended location and any inspiration you would like us to consider. From there, we can explore how your vision may be developed into a unique sculpture.
Do I need to have a complete design idea?
Not at all.
Some clients come to us with a very clear vision, while others have only a feeling, theme or inspiration. We enjoy working collaboratively to develop an idea into a finished artwork.
How long does a commission take?
Every sculpture is different, and the timescale depends on the size, complexity, materials and current workload.
We will provide an estimated timeframe during the quotation process and keep you updated throughout.
Do you create sculptures for specific spaces?
Yes.
Many commissions are created with a particular location in mind. We can discuss dimensions, surroundings, lighting, colours and how the sculpture will interact with its environment.

Yes.
Where appropriate, we will provide sketches, drawings or design concepts for discussion and approval before production begins.
Can I make changes after the design has been approved?
We welcome discussion during the design stage.
Once production has started, changes may not always be possible. If changes can be made, they may affect the cost and completion timeframe.
How much is the deposit?
The deposit amount is 50% of the individual quotation.
The deposit secures your commission and allows us to begin preparation, design work and material sourcing.
Do you deliver the sculptures?
Yes.
Because many of our sculptures are large and delicate, we normally deliver them ourselves to help ensure they arrive safely.
Delivery costs are discussed separately and agreed before your commission is confirmed.
Do you install the sculptures?
Installation requirements vary depending on the individual artwork.
If installation is required, we will discuss this with you and include any agreed arrangements within your quotation.

We provide care guidance appropriate to your sculpture and the materials used.
With suitable care, your artwork should provide enjoyment for many years.
Can I commission a sculpture as a gift?
Yes.
A bespoke sculpture can be a meaningful and lasting gift. Please contact us to discuss your ideas and timescale.

We will always consider privacy and can discuss whether your completed sculpture may be photographed for our portfolio, website or social media.
Do you work with businesses or public spaces?
Yes, we welcome enquiries from private clients, businesses and organisations looking for unique artwork for their spaces.
