Refunds and Returns Policy

This policy outlines your rights and our responsibilities when purchasing artwork, products, or booking workshops through this website.

It is written in line with the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (UK), the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (UK), and equivalent EU consumer protection legislation. International customers are also covered by these principles where applicable.

 

Your legal rights

As a customer, you are entitled to:

  • Receive goods that are as described, of satisfactory quality, and fit for purpose
    • A repair, replacement, or refund if an item is faulty, damaged, or not as described
    • A 14-day cooling-off period for most online purchases (see below)

These rights cannot be excluded or overridden by this policy.

 

Cooling-off period (online purchases)

For most items purchased online, you have the right to cancel your order within 14 days of receiving your item, without giving a reason.

You then have a further 14 days to return the item.

To be eligible:

  • Items must be unused and in their original condition
    • Items must be returned in original packaging where possible
    • Proof of purchase is required and photographic evidence may be requested.

Refunds will include the original standard delivery cost (where applicable), in line with legal requirements.

 

Returns outside the cooling-off period

We offer a 30-day returns window from the date of delivery.

After the initial 14-day cooling-off period:

  • Returns are accepted at our discretion
    • Refunds may be partial depending on condition
    • Items must still be returned unused and in good condition

Proof of purchase will be required before any returns or refunds are processed. In some cases photographic evidence of faulty or damaged goods will be requested.

Non-returnable items

The following are not eligible for return unless faulty:

  • Commissioned or bespoke artwork
    • Digital products or downloads
    • Workshops, events, and bookings (see below)

 

Workshops and events

Workshops and events are non-refundable, except in the following cases:

  • The event is cancelled by us
    • Exceptional circumstances at our discretion

Where possible:

  • Transfers to another date may be offered
    • Credit may be issued instead of a refund

This reflects the nature of small-capacity, pre-booked events where materials and time are committed in advance.

 

Faulty or damaged items

If your item arrives damaged, faulty, or not as described:

  • Contact us within 7 days of delivery
    • Provide photographs where possible

You are entitled to:

  • A repair or replacement, or
    • A full refund if the issue cannot be resolved

Return shipping costs for faulty items will be covered by us.

 

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected:

  • You will be notified of approval or rejection
    • Approved refunds will be processed to your original payment method

Please allow:

  • Up to 10 working days for processing
    • Additional time for your bank or card provider to complete the transaction

 

Late or missing refunds

If your refund has not arrived:

  • Check your bank account again
    • Contact your card provider or bank
    • Allow time for processing delays

If issues persist, contact the studio

 

Sale items

Sale items may be refunded unless clearly stated otherwise at the point of purchase.

Your statutory rights still apply in all cases.

 

Exchanges

We only offer exchanges where items are faulty or damaged.

If you require an exchange, contact the studio by email

 

Gifts

If an item was purchased as a gift:

  • Refunds will be issued to the original purchaser
    • In some cases, store credit may be offered
