Artisan FAQ
Common questions about joining, vetting, and getting listed in the directory.
Who is Bespoke Guild for?
Luxury decorative artisans — muralists, plaster specialists, gilders, ornamental ironworkers, and related trades — who work with interior designers, hospitality groups, and clients commissioning bespoke work. This is not a general contractor marketplace.
How does vetting work?
Every profile is reviewed before appearing in the public directory. After you verify email and complete your profile, use Submit for Review in your member portal. Guild review typically takes 3–5 business days. We check portfolio quality, specialty fit, and profile completeness.
What do I need before submitting for review?
- Verified email
- Bio (50+ characters) and tagline
- City, state, and at least one specialty
- At least 3 portfolio images
- Profile or featured photo
