PACKAGING
It is important to me that you receive your artwork in good condition and that it is a joy to unwrap, even after the bumpiest of journeys. Every care is taken to protect your handmade artwork.
Prints up to A3 in size are shipped flat with a piece of acid-free card to protect your artwork. Larger prints are rolled and sent in a postal tube with acid-free tissue paper and newsprint, these will need to be flattened out on arrival.
Most work is sold with biodegradable cellophane as I phase out the use of traditional wrapping, and all printed cards are delivered 'naked' wrapped in tissue.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU THINK YOUR ITEM IS LOST IN THE POST?
Sometimes the post is a little slower than expected, especially around the holidays and with new safety measures being put in place in response to Covid-19. Most items will turn up within 2 weeks in the UK or 4 weeks outside the UK but if yours hasn’t please do get in touch and I will investigate.
A NOTE ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
These will be dispatched within 3 days.
Please be aware that there might be additional import taxes applied to shipments outside of the UK. These are the buyer’s responsibility and are calculated using the full monetary value of each item. Please be aware of these before placing your order.
PAYMENTS
In order to secure your order payment is taken securely at checkout through PayPal or via credit card. I use SSL secure shopping so your data is secure.
REFUNDS
Once goods have been returned and inspected, a refund will be issued to the same payment account that was used at the checkout. The refund will be processed immediately, but please be aware that bank processing times may vary so it may be a bit slower to arrive in your account.
A NOTE ABOUT HANDMADE
The beauty of printmaking is that each piece is an original work of art, every print in an edition has its own unique set of characteristics with slight variations in colour, texture and detail.
I always do my best to show the work as true to life as possible and describe each one as accurately as possible but please be aware that colours may vary depending on monitor settings.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Framing is recommended to look after your artwork, avoid displaying it in areas of high humidity. A mount is recommended to keep some distance between the print and glass and avoid contact with acidic surfaces.
If work is to be stored for an extended period of time wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper will help preserve the art.
If you have any questions or would like to know more please don't hesitate to contact me.
