New custom work orders are temporarily suspended due to the volume of orders requested. Check with me spring 2024.
Custom designed work can be made to fit your needs such as panels, windows, cabinet inserts, signs, mirrors, wedding gifts and tiles. An interview process will provide me with information to make your special piece. Your photographs can sometimes provide helpful references for me. Any type of personalization or words can be included.
Design work can be done with a computerized graphic design program made especially for stained glass. Coloring is done from actual glass images that can be inserted into each piece of the design, simulating with visual accuracy how the finished piece might look. A background can also be included to suggest how the piece might look in your space, through your window! Design and color changes can be sent by e-mail, so that visits to the studio can be minimal or in some cases unnecessary. I prefer to have some artistic freedom to make changes as the work progresses.
The maximum size for a custom piece is 30” X 30”. Larger spaces should be architecturally separated with wood frame work. I can make your panel to an exact size, but I do not install. I prefer to work directly with the installer before starting work to be assured of sizing and other details.
Cost is determined by size, details, and type of glass, approximately $500. a square foot, and more with fine details, lots of painting, fusing and/or premium glass. A design deposit is required, but is applied to the total cost. A second deposit of at least 25% is collected when all details are finalized. Scheduling is determined based on previous commitments.
Current wait time for current custom work is approximately 2 years or more. Your patience is required.
Gift certificates for custom work will be suspended now till further notice.
