The Exchange & Art

Welcome to the EXCHANGE & ART

“What’s that?”

I hear you exclaim,

Well it’s something that anyone can get involved in, although you may not see item that you dropped off on display for a while as each deposited piece is revamped/customised by my own hands which of course takes a little time depending upon the size, shape & product material.

Basically you deposit an item (must fit criteria below) & I will customise/revamp it & then put it out on display & on the website in a before/after gallery.

ITEM CRITERIA 

• Item is not broken or cracked.
• Made from Ceramic, Metal, Non porous surface.
• Surface is not textured.
• Is preferably plain without pattern (unless it’s a canvas painting).
• Item is of no value & surplus to requirements.

EXAMPLES OF ITEMS:

• Mugs, plates & bowls of plain design.
• Small trays.
• Ceramic or resin vases, jars or condiment caddies.
• Small canvas prints or non textured paintings on canvas.
• Ceramic tiles.

This is not a finite list but to give a guide as to suitable objects.

For those local to my location you can leave your donated item in the box outside my van.

Items that I have revamped/customised already will be on display & available to anyone who likes them.

DONATIONS

A donation can be made using the honesty box as I won’t be monitoring things .

Donations will contribute towards the cost of materials used to decorate the items.

You may also leave suitable materials as a donation ie; clear spray lacquer, acrylic paint pens or paints, permanent markers, clear resin etc.

ITEM ALLOCATION 

As I complete each item they will be put outside on display & available for the taking.

Should you specifically want your own item back after completion then please attach a label stating this & they will be displayed with a reservation label.

To find out if your item has been finished please check the website gallery where completed items will be displayed with a before & after photograph.

I look forward to seeing what you drop off for creative processing!
