Commissions and custom weavings

My weaving commissions are OPEN and I’m available to start working with you! Please note that I complete weavings in the order of inquiry forms received.

Let’s collaborate on your own custom weaving from Lionheart Canyon Studio — a piece of heirloom artwork that weaves in your story with fiber.

Maybe you’ve brought home a weathered piece of driftwood that you found while wandering along a beautiful shoreline. Or perhaps you’ve held onto a nostalgic garment — your ivory wedding dress, a grandfather’s shirt that still smells like lingering tobacco, or even a beloved baby blanket. We can use these special materials and combine them with my curation of fibers, all to weave a piece of artwork that tells your story. If you don’t have special fabric/fibers to send me, never fear. I have a large stash of beautiful fibers that I will use to curate a woven story, just for you.

Over the past decade, I’ve cultivated my own visual language through fiber and storytelling. My creative voice is shaped by curiosity, craftsmanship, and the slow, meditative process of weaving. When we work together, your vision connects with my skill to create a one-of-a-kind, heirloom original artwork.

You can learn more about the commission process below, and there is also an inquiry form you can use to connect with me. I’d love to hear your ideas, and begin crafting a work of art that is meaningful to you.

SUBMIT YOUR COMMISSION INQUIRY FORM!

  • You are welcome to drop off or mail me special fabric, fibers or clothing (even a piece of driftwood!) to use in your weaving! Any materials sent to me will be treated with the utmost care, as I know how meaningful or nostalgic your contribution may be. I will weave these special materials into your artwork, which is meant to last for many years to come as an heirloom piece.

    I will curate a fiber story centered around your contribution with high quality, beautiful natural/recycled fibers. If your contributed materials supply a significant portion or all of the piece, we can discuss lowering the materials cost portion of your weaving.

    1. The first step is to submit your commission inquiry form. You have the opportunity to share the size, color story, fibers and any additional details of what you’re looking for! If you’re not exactly sure what you’re looking for, we can talk it through together. You can fill out the form with what you know, and we will go from there!

    2. I will email you within two business days of receiving your inquiry, acknowledging I’ve seen your form. We can set up an optional complimentary Zoom video call, and talk further about your vision if that’s helpful!

    3. I will send a second email a few days before I start working on your commission. This email will share the price quote, a photo of the fibers I’ve curated, a dimension/proportion sketch, and clear up any questions I may have. *** This will happen when your weaving is next in my queue. This helps me stay organized/focused on what I’m currently working on, and shift into the planning process for yours.

    4. After you’ve approved the fiber/color story and price, we will chat about payment options. You can pay 50% or more in full before I start weaving. An invoice will be emailed to you, which serves as a contract for continuing the commission.

    5. The weaving process begins!

  • Pricing is determined on a case by case basis. I offer payment plans to help keep my work accessible, while still priced its value. I am happy to provide an exploratory quote with no pressure to go forward on a commission!

    • Please note that pricing is more than just the completed weaving — it includes more than ten years of my expertise, cost of high quality/long lasting fibers, my valuable time, the intentional ideation of your piece, and various communications.

    • Weaving commissions are made as heirloom quality artworks, meant to last for many years to come. You will be able to share your ideal budget with me, and we can work out a payment plan or adjust sizing if needed. I always want my work to be accessible, but still priced its value.

    • The commission must be paid in full before it is mailed or picked up.

    • The shipping cost will be invoiced to the collector once the weaving is finished. I will calculate the shipping cost using your mailing address and the dimensions/weight of the package.

    • Multiple quotes can be provided, allowing you to choose delivery carrier (USPS, UPS, Fedex, etc) and the shipping speed.

    • Free local Omaha, Nebraska pick up/delivery is available!

    • I am unable to take returns or offer refunds on commissioned woven wall hangings, due to their unique custom nature. To ensure that you love your commission, I will send you documentation throughout the commission process for your approval. This includes a photo of the yarns/fibers I’ve selected based on your requests, several process photos as I weave, and photo/video documentation of your weaving after it’s complete.

    • Changes can be made until it is removed from the loom. Once a weaving is off the loom, it loses tension and changes can no longer be made. I will not ship your commission until I hear your approval, and will take great care to safely package your weaving!

    • Of course, I want you to be happy with your commission — so if after all of this process you’re not happy with it, please email me immediately after receiving your commission piece explaining the issue.

Please email me at kate@lionheartcanyonstudio.com if you have any questions. I can’t wait to work with you!
