Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the artwork, natural slate, ordering, shipping and caring for your piece.

The Artwork

Do you create personalized or custom engraved pieces?

Crafted Runes Studio primarily focuses on original artwork created in the studio’s signature style. Limited custom commissions may occasionally be accepted depending on availability.

Is every piece really unique?

Yes. Every engraving is created on genuine natural slate, and no two pieces of slate are exactly alike.

Differences in texture, edges and mineral patterns are normal characteristics of the material and give every finished piece individual character.

How is the artwork applied to the slate?

The artwork is permanently laser engraved into the surface of the slate. It is not printed, painted or applied as a decal.

Will the engraving fade over time?

Under normal indoor display conditions, the engraving is intended to last for many years. The artwork becomes part of the stone itself and requires very little maintenance.

Do the colors and appearance vary?

Yes. Natural slate varies from piece to piece, and phone or monitor screens can also display contrast and appearance somewhat differently.

These variations are normal and are part of what makes each finished piece distinct.

Care & Display

How do I clean my slate artwork?

Dust the piece with a soft microfiber cloth. If needed, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.

Display recommendations vary by product. Please refer to the individual product description for the recommended display method for that piece.
