Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why isn't StringBoard threaded by hand?
Threading a string art piece by hand typically takes about 5 or more hours. In order to provide a high quality piece for a fair price, it is not reasonable to string by hand, especially since my pieces have more lines than most string art (about 4000). By automating the stringing I'm able to put more care and attention into the rest of the process. Handmade string art is available to buy, however it is either extremely expensive, or it uses cheap foreign labour.
Where should I hang it?
StringBoard looks best in good ambient lighting and usually from a slight distance (a few metres or more). You could hang it by a doorway or window, or shine a light onto it. Wherever you choose to place it, a StringBoard is an attention grabbing piece of art.
What if it's broken when it arrives?
The board is wrapped carefully in bubble wrap packaged in a double ply telescopic cardboard box, and the nails are very firmly secured in the board (I use woodworking nails). In the unlikely event that a board is broken or damaged or the thread has come out, I will require a photo within 48 hours of delivery. Then I will offer either a full refund OR a remake of the board (with shipping included in both options). The full refund policy can be found here.
