ORDERING CUSTOM DESIGNED STAINED GLASS
Ordering Custom Designed Stained Glass from Barbara Connors' Art Glass Studio is a collaborative process between you and me. Here is brief description of what will happen.
It starts with an idea. Here are some questions to ask yourself.
Is there an art style that you want? Victorian? Art Deco? Craftsman? Contemporary?
Maybe there is a special interest you want represented? Bird watching? Gardening? Quilting?
What colors complement the space your glass is going to be in?
Glass comes in a variety of opacity and textures. Do you want to be able to see through your Custom Designed Stained Glass? Or do you want it to obscure the view (out or in)?
Once you have an idea of what you want it is time to contact me. I will come visit you bringing a variety of design resources (patterns, books, pictures, as well as glass samples), help you pick design elements, and prepare a preliminary design. I will also take detailed measurements of the space the glass is to fit in, and discuss installation options. At that time I will give you an estimate of the cost of your Custom Designed Stained Glass. Keep in mind, the more detailed the design the more your piece is likely to cost. (Since everyone ask, a ball-park estimate is $110 per square foot (sf) BUT its a very big ball park where prices can run from the bleacher seats at $75/sf to the Sky Box at $300/sf or more.)
Once back in my studio I will then complete a cartoon, or line drawing, of your design and send it to you for approval. When you sign off on the completed design I will fabricate you Custom Designed Stained Glass and deliver it to you for installation, or install it for you if that is your choice.
It may seem a bit complicated at first, but I will guide you through the process and it really IS worth the effort to get the Custom Designed Stained Glass that is just right for you. So now ask yourself what you want in your design and take the next step to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and developing a piece of Custom Designed Art Glass for your home.
