Form & Element is invitation-only, but we are always looking. If your work meets our standards — if you shape raw materials into finished objects with your own hands and you are proud of what you make — we would like to see it.
12% commission + 3% payment processing.
That's it. No listing fees. No monthly subscription. No hidden costs. No surprise deductions.
On a $250 bowl, you keep $212.50. On a $1,600 vase, you keep $1,360. We make money when you make money — and only when you make money.
For context: Etsy takes 20–30% when you add up their transaction fees, processing fees, and mandatory advertising. 1stDibs charges a monthly subscription plus 15–30% per sale. We think the maker should keep more of what they earn.
Professional editorial
We write your story. Studio visit, process photography direction, long-form profile. Your work presented the way it deserves.
Premium pricing protected
We do not run sales. We do not offer discount codes. Your prices are your prices, and we will never pressure you to lower them.
You control production
Made to order, ready to ship, limited runs — your pace, your capacity. We will never ask you to scale beyond what your hands can do.
