Commissions are a conversation, and a blend of my weaving style and design direction, and client’s inspiration and ideas.
Maria Sigma is a small weaving studio and design business, which is run by just me. It can get very busy, especially in peak times of the year and weaving is a very slow craft so I would advise getting your requests in early so we can discuss expected time frames for creating the commission.
The objects in a home are more than ‘things’; they are a collection of materials invested with memories and meaning, an expression of self and identity. Home objects are what make a house a home (Hecht in Miller, 2001; Lawrence, 1987).

Maria Sigma offers textile designing and weaving services to individuals and professionals for interior spaces but not limited to it.
Commissioned work has been a part of my practice since the very beginning. Every commission has been a challenge and inspiration for me in a different and unique way. Collaborations & commissions may evolve a piece in the existing product range or maybe an entirely new bespoke design/installation for interiors, outdoors and fashion. Each piece is a product of craftsmanship and love developed through thoughtful dialogue with the client. I will work hard to interpret and realise your visions and expectations.
