How does MadeMay work?

MadeMay connects you with skilled artisans in three simple steps: discover, inquire, and connect.

Step 1: Discover artisans

Browse artisan profiles in our two focus categories: Painting and Sculpture. View their portfolios, read their bios, see their process steps, and check starting prices.

Step 2: Send an inquiry

When you find an artisan whose work inspires you, send them an inquiry. Describe what you have in mind, include reference photos if you like, and share your budget range and timeline.

Step 3: Connect and collaborate

The artisan receives your inquiry and you continue the conversation through on-platform messaging. Discuss details, share images and files, and work out the specifics of your project together. Once you and the artisan agree, you pay securely on MadeMay and keep the commission record on-platform through delivery.

Payments, messaging, and delivery coordination all happen on MadeMay — checkout is handled securely through Stripe and every commission has one shared record from first message to finished piece.
