Commissions and Repairs

Much of my work began not as something new, but as something broken.

Over the years, friends and family have brought me items that were damaged, often something treasured, or something with meaning. They would ask if it could be repaired. My answer has always been the same: everything is repairable.

If something falls and breaks, don’t throw it away. Carefully collect every piece you can find, no matter how small. Place them in a zip-lock bag. The more you keep, the greater the chance of restoring it to its former beauty.

Before reaching for the superglue, I always recommend getting in touch first. There is nothing more difficult than trying to repair a piece that has been glued incorrectly or with missing parts. With the right approach, even heavily damaged items can often be brought back to life.

Restoration is a slow and careful process, but it is also one of the most rewarding, seeing something once broken made whole again.

It is, in many ways, the same story told in my book The Sum of Us.

Commissions

Alongside restoration work, I also create custom pieces by commission. These are most often religious pieces, created with a sense of purpose and devotion.

Each piece begins with an idea, sometimes a memory, sometimes a devotion, sometimes a simple desire for something meaningful to be made by hand. I work closely with you to bring that idea to life, creating something personal and lasting.

Each work is shaped with care, patience, and attention to detail.
