Commissions

Rita welcomes commissioned work and is happy to collaborate with clients to accommodate their personal interests in design, size, subject matter and color schemes. Commissioned tapestries can be based on Rita’s or other artists’ work as well as photographs. Once the design is completed and approved, the weaving can begin. The estimated time for a 10-square-foot design is two months. Pricing is based on the size and complexity of the design and ranges from $250 to $450 per square foot. Materials used include wool, cotton and silk that Rita dyes herself in order to achieve a wide range of colors and values necessary for close likeness to the design.
