Don't Sign Until You're Sure
In the ceramics world, your craft is your legacy. We ensure that the fine print in your gallery, retail, or production agreements protects that legacy as much as it promotes it.
Gallery Representation
We scrutinize commission structures, insurance liabilities, and termination clauses to ensure you aren't locked into unfavorable arrangements.
Exclusivity Clauses
Don't let one contract limit your entire market. We negotiate the scope of exclusivity to protect your ability to sell online and at independent fairs.
Intellectual Property
Retain the rights to your designs, imagery, and processes. We ensure reproduction rights are clearly defined and temporary.
Case Study: Glaze Protection
A prominent London studio was offered a large-scale manufacturing contract that included a vague 'knowledge transfer' clause. Upon our review, we identified that the clause would have inadvertently granted the manufacturer ownership of the studio's proprietary ash-glaze formula.
The Outcome: We renegotiated the agreement to specify that the formula remained the artist's trade secret, licensed only for the duration of the specific production run. The studio retained full ownership of their signature aesthetic.
