The process of commissioning a stained glass window begins when the client (you) describes or shows me the space, and explains preferences for colors, themes, or specific design requirements. You would tell me what designs you do and don't like on this web site, and I can send you other images to look at. I charge $500 per square foot, and give you a firm price as soon as the size of the window is decided. At this time, I request a 1/3 deposit for design time and material purchase. Design sketches and glass samples are then sent to you for approval. Depending on your response, revisions might be made, a new design drawing created, or work begun on the project. The design may involve painting and firing , etching, or fused glass elements. When completed, the windows are either delivered by me to the site, picked up by you, or crated and shipped. Most installations do not require removal of existing clear window glass, which is usually thermopane. The stained glass window is placed in the window frame on the inside of the building and held in place with wood molding. There are, of course, exceptions to this process, depending on the size and location of the installation and instructions from you or your architect. |
