Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called a 'trunk show'?
A trunk show is traditionally when an artist packs up all their works to sell on the road. For many years, Sticks packed up and traveled to various galleries to hold custom-design trunk shows. We have so many customers in all corners of the US, and we want our custom design events to be accessible to everyone. Today, in the age of computers and smartphones, we offer trunk show appointments by phone call! Our art director, Michelle, will be on the call facilitating conversation to make sure you still have a very personal experience to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece of art for you or someone you love!
What can I expect this process to look like?
1) Schedule a phone call appointment.
2) Pay your deposit.
3) Hop on a call with our art director.
4) Discuss the structure, design, and colors.
5) Receive the quoted price.
6) Approve the pencil drawing.
7) Wait 4 to 6 weeks for your custom creation!
How long is the virtual meeting?
Each appointment is booked for one hour. Reminder: we are located in central standard time zone and we will call you at your scheduled time!
How much does this cost?
We require a $150 non-refundable deposit to secure your spot. That deposit will be applied to the final price of your piece. The final price will be quoted based on your design discussion following the meeting. Please note: promotions and discount codes do not apply to custom pieces.
Where can I look for product inspiration?
Browse through our product selection under the Sticks Handmade tab. We can customize design format, imagery, words, and color. Love something from the website? Be sure to write down the ‘image name’ in the product description so we can reference it during the meeting!
How do I pick colors for my custom piece?
Search for your favorite piece on our website. We can incorporate other colors and we can complement fabrics, walls, and décor in the space where your custom piece will go. We also like to know what colors you don't want to see. Our artists will take this information and create a gorgeous, cohesive color palette for the piece.
Who will be on the call?
You'll get to speak with our artistic director, Michelle! Michelle has worked at Sticks for 25 years and is involved in the entire creative process for Sticks pieces. Someone from our sales team will also be on the call. They'll be able to answer any questions leading up to your call and be your point-person throughout your custom project. They’ll make a wonderful, collaborative team with you!
