2026 COMMISSION

I am very excited to take on my first Lacquerware Commission during this upcoming year! If you are an Individual/Organization interested in proposing an idea you’d like to see painted in pearl, please take a look below for this year’s Commission Basics:

PROPOSAL WINDOW NOV 2025 - JAN 2026

I will only be taking on one Commission this year as I continue to build my Lacquerware Collection. I will carefully consider all proposals and give priority to those that either give me full artistic freedom or embody topics that speak to Black and/or Korean experiences (bonus points for unique/contemporary takes). If you have not received correspondence about your proposal by FEB 2026, I will unfortunately not be able to take on your idea this upcoming year. I will however, notify Individuals/Organizations with proposals that I’d like to begin for the following year (2027), if that timing is convenient for them.

TOPIC

Najeonchilgi (Korean Lacquerwork) is a slow craft that takes months/years. I plan on taking on this commission in 2026 but it will likely not be completed till some time in 2027. But with every type of commission I take on, I look forward to establishing a draft schedule, maintaining monthly progress updates while sharing tidbits about my process.

TIMING

For this year, I plan on making much larger pieces. So please only submit if you can envision your idea being bigger than 2 sq. ft. (max 3.5 ft. with a little wiggle room).

SIZE

Thank You for Your Interest in Crafting your Concept Through the Ancient Tradition of Najeonchilgi!
