COMMISSIONING
Commissioning Glass Art: Your Questions Answered
Commissioning a custom glass piece can feel daunting, but we’re here to make it straightforward and collaborative. Below are answers to common questions we receive. If you’d like more details or have other questions, feel free to contact us—details are on our main page.
What is a commission?
We’re hired by individuals, groups, or organizations to create a unique glass artwork for a specific space or purpose. We solve design challenges within your budget and timeline.
How does the process start?
It’s flexible—clients reach out directly, or we’re contacted by architects, agents, or committees. Simply get in touch, and we’ll figure out the best way to kick off your project.
Do I need to provide the idea?
Not necessarily, but it helps. A theme or concept gives us a starting point. Often, the best ideas emerge from a conversation with you.
How are designs shared?
We typically present a scaled, colored design. Mid-process reviews are common, showing a rough concept that’s still open to adjustments. Final designs are harder to change, so early feedback is key.
How much does it cost?
It varies based on the project’s scope, materials (local or imported), and complexity. We’ll agree on a design fee upfront. Samples may be needed to explore techniques like fusing or painting, helping everyone understand the process and results.
Can you work within my budget?
Yes, most projects have a set budget. Knowing your budget early ensures we design something amazing yet affordable.
How long does it take?
It depends on the project’s scale and our current workload. We’ll provide a timeline with the design and can set firm deadlines as needed.
