HOW TO COMMISSION AN
ICON
A
Commissioned Icon is an
eternal gift to your Church, one that will last for centuries and
cherished by the entire community. You can make such a gift
individually, with a group of parishioners, or in coordination
with your church. There is no limit to the size or shape or
decorative elements. The icon is tailored to your specifications.
For
churches, original commissioned icons can be reproduced in limited
edition quantity and can be sold and used to finance the creation
of the original commissioned work.
Prices
vary according to complexity, subject matter and size. Themes can
range in complexity from Single Figures, to Multiple Figure, to
Feasts, or Complex Scenes.
At
the actual commencement of work, the client will be sent an
invoice, at which time, a deposit of one third or half of the total amount is due. This
deposit covers the expenses of preliminary work and materials, and
is not refundable. Special payment arrangements can be made upon request.
The
second installment is due upon completion or
upon delivery. Packing, insurance and shipping are extra and
will be billed separately.
Creating
an original icon to specifications is a lengthy process, which
normally takes between 3-8 months.
