frequently asked questions
Where can I buy your work?
Currently, my work is available through my online store. Occasionally, I will also open up spots for products made to order.
When do you restock your online shop?
I will typically restock my website every month or two. I announce when I will be doing these via Instagram and my email newsletter. Occasionally, I will do smaller surprise drops throughout the month which I will post about on Instagram.
Can you let me know when you open up spots for custom orders?
Unfortunately, no. I have many people asking to place orders daily, and keeping track of who to contact when I open up spots for custom orders does not work for me.
What is the best way to be notified about when your products will be available?
I recommend keeping up to date with me on Instagram. I will always post about when I will be having sales.
Do you bead full-time?
Yes!
Do you supply wholesale/consignment to stockists or retailers?
No. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the cut that these agreements often require. In some cases such as special opportunities/online marketplaces I will consider it. If you would like more information about this please do not hesitate to send me an email.
Do you take commissions/custom orders?
I sometimes take commissions, depending on my schedule. If there is a piece that you are interested in, I am always willing to consider it, depending on my schedule. I appreciate a 1-2 month’s notice for commissioned pieces.
I will sometimes open up "spots" for pieces made to order, which I will announce through email and Instagram. I really appreciate if you wait for these times to place an order with me.
How can I place an order for a commission/custom order?
Sending me an e-mail (bronwynbutterfield1@gmail.com) is the best way to contact me for a commissioned piece, and I will always respond within the week. I occasionally check my DMs on instagram, however the most reliable way that I can be reached is through e-mail.
Please include a screenshot or description of what piece you are hoping for, bead colours, piece size, timeline and what the commission is for (special event, wedding, for fun etc.). I am open to recreating some of my previous designs, and I will always provide a reasoning as to why I do not wish to recreate a design.
I will NOT recreate another artists work.
Do you run workshops?
I do not run online workshops. However, I am open to hosting in-person workshops as long as strict COVID-19 protocols are in place.
Normally, I run workshops for a maximum of 10 participants. Workshop fees are negotiable. I can also teach individual or private group lessons (3 participants max). Please email me if you are interested in me having me host a workshop, or interested in beading lessons.
Can I wear your pieces if I am non-Indigenous?
Yes. By buying my work, you are directly supporting an Indigenous artist. My pieces are not regalia.
