Ceramic artist Cheryl Wolff
is happy to accept commissions
for her dinnerware sets.

The ultimate luxury is having something tailor-made for you. A shirt is nice. A suit is better. Bits and pieces of your home are very good as well. A hand-made, tailor-made environment just for you.

Commissioning means that you become a part of the design process, a member of the design team. To choose among manufactured objects is one thing. To actively participate with an artist in the creation of your own environment is another thing altogether.

Commissioning an artist to make something original for you implies a kind of singularity. There is great joy and satisfaction to be found in the dinner service that matches your eclectic lifestyle, or the fireplace that fits the unusual requirements of your living room, or the specially designed curtains that let the light in while blocking an otherwise ugly view.

So, just keep in mind, anything can be commissioned! While the word itself brings to mind something grandiose like a public monument or an oil portrait, the fact is that commissions can be for something as small as a door latch, or a door, or the railing for the steps that lead up to the door. An artist is there to make your dreams, large or small, come true.
