Commission a unique contemporary stone sculpture, hand-carved by Herefordshire sculptor Jan Bruce.
A commission can be based on one of Jan’s existing sculptures, adapted to suit a particular size or setting, or developed as an entirely new piece. Working closely with you, Jan can create a sculpture that reflects a particular person, relationship, idea or place.
Sculptures can be created for homes, gardens, outdoor spaces and public settings, with a range of natural stones available depending on the design and requirements of the commission.
- Step One -
The commissioning process is quite straightforward
The first step is an initial consultation to discuss what you would like. this would ideally be a face-to-face meeting, but it could also be done via video link, phone or email, where distance is an issue.
- Step Two -
I will come up with some initial ideas and sketches to fit the brief. I can also make a maquette (scale model) at this stage which gives a good idea of how the final piece will look. If the piece is for a particular setting, I can also produce a photo montage to help you to envisage what the final piece will look like in situ.
- Step Three -
Once we have agreed on a design, I ask for a 20% deposit and will allocate you a slot in my waiting list.
For larger pieces there may be staged payments, but this will be agreed in advance.
- Step Four -
Once I have started on the piece, I can send regular updates and photos of progress in the studio. You will be welcome to arrange to visit to see the progress.
When the piece is complete I will arrange delivery and installation if required. Final payment will be required prior to delivery.

- Plinths -
If required, plinths can be supplied for the sculptures for inside or out, in a range of materials and surface finishes.

I work closely with a specialist bespoke plinth fabricator to obtain a stable and secure plinth that is complementary to the sculpture and the intended location. Installation can also be arranged if required.
