Why is this all important?
Sharing pieces through press collaborations is an exciting thing for everyone involved and is important to this business. Please keep in mind that this is a small business run by a sole trader who hand-makes all of the pieces in a local Melbourne studio. There are not multiples of stock and staff to manage this process. Each piece is a one-off. While they are on loan they are unable to be made available. Respect of each others time and diligence in this process is greatly appreciated.
I look foward to hearing from you!
