I am booking up custom orders for September and forward.
For rush please ask for availability. 

Custom Ketubah

Entirely custom and handmade, from concept to lettering, painting and crafting. Pick one to start and let’s discuss the basics. 

Style. I am easy to work with and open to adjust to your requirements if you have a wedding theme for example. We can talk layout and colors, fonts, shape and size, anything basically can be altered to make your unique Ketubah. 
You can bring your own ideas or start from one as seen and add your own touch.
I am open to artist collaboration, either for making the calligraphy or the artwork around the text. 
Your Original Ketubah commission can include any of the following materials and techniques:

1. concept design with custom layout, text styling, materials and colours: a couple of mockups to start with and unlimited number of revisions to your full satisfaction
2. small or large scale calligraphy for texts
3. watercolor painting, sumi-e ink, pencil, guache, tempera
4. one or more papercut or woodcut layers, plain white, gilded or watercolor painted
5. real Gold and Silver details
6. other rich materials as handmade paper
7. could include additional elements or techniques to be determined: collage, letterpress or woodblock printing, special backing, etc...

Texts. We have a range of standard texts you can chose from, but you are welcome to bring your own Rabbi approved one. We will adapt the size of the calligraphy to your Design and Ketubah size, or vice versa. If you fency the more serif and decorative font style against a more plain one, it will take up more space and the rest of the elements will have to adapt. 
It's a big excitement to create your wedding ketubah and coordinated papery. Looking forward to working with you!
