Talk

Thirty minutes, in person, by phone or on video. The space, the idea, the budget.

02

Sketch and quote

Concept drawings, materials, a fixed price, a lead time and deposit terms, all in writing.

Build

Made by hand in Newbury. Progress photos sent as it comes together.

From the Bench

Everything starts as a pile of parts

Work in progress, straight off the workshop floor. New photos go up here as pieces come together.

Straight answers

Ready-made pieces

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 you can cancel an online order for a ready-made sculpture within 14 days of receiving it, no reason needed. Email mrnickpearson@gmail.com within that window. Send it back in its original condition, well packed. Return postage is on you unless the piece arrived damaged or wasn't as described. Refunds go back to the original payment method within 14 days of the piece arriving back.

Commissioned and bespoke work

The 14-day cancellation right does not apply to work made to your specification (Regulation 28(1)(b)). Deposit terms are confirmed in writing before anything gets cut.

Damage

Every sculpture is stress-tested before it leaves the workshop. Yes, that includes throwing it on the floor. If something arrives damaged in transit, photograph it straight away and get in touch, it will be sorted. Damage that happens after delivery isn't covered, but repair and restoration is always available, just ask.

Statutory rights

Nothing here affects your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Everything sold must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.
