Commissions

My contemporary glass work ranges from small hangings, to larger wooden framed pieces, to full scale architectural presentations. As well as being purchased locally, my artwork has been flown all around the world and commissions have ranged from doors and windows in houses and apartments, to abstract panels in some renowned hotels and restaurants. I have a broad range of experience of working directly on commissions with the client, architects and interior designers.

6 years ago I was joined by Heather Frary - an accomplished glass artist - who has learnt the technique of leaded work. This is different to my purely decorative method and means that we can now make external windows and doors.

We work closely with our clients ensuring that we get the right design and colours to suit the environment for the piece.

Commission Stages

The client supplies us with size of panel required (& possibly a template if it is an unsual shape).  They decide if they would like an original design (which will incur a £50 design fee).

Client is supplied with a quote.

A 10% non-refundable deposit is paid in order to secure a place on the waiting list.

Designs are drawn up using information (images, fabric swatches etc) provided by the client.  Want to commemorate a wedding, anniversary or birthday?  We can etch a date and/or name on to your panel.

Once designs have been approved work commences.

Clients are very welcome to come and see the work in progress at the workshop if they so wish.

As a rough guide, prices for commissions are £185 per square foot or £2000 per square metre.
