COMMISSIONING A STAINED GLASS WINDOW OR PANEL

🌿 The Commissioning Process

Commissioning a stained glass piece is a creative and collaborative experience. Whether you’re dreaming of a window, door panel, or hanging artwork, I guide you through each stage to ensure the final piece reflects your vision and complements its setting beautifully.

1. Initial Consultation

A site visit can be arranged to discuss your ideas and take preliminary measurements.

You’re also welcome to visit my garden studio in West Sussex to explore glass samples and develop concepts together.

If you’re further afield, we can work seamlessly via email or phone—remote commissions are very welcome.

There is no charge for this initial consultation, and I can usually provide a ballpark estimate at this stage.

2. Design Development

After our first conversation, I begin gathering inspiration, references, and visual cues to shape the design direction.

A formal quote is provided once the scope is clear.

I then create small-scale colour sketches based on our discussions.

A 30% deposit is required to proceed with the design work.

3. Final Measurements & Glass Selection

A second site visit is arranged to confirm precise measurements.

We select the glass together—either in the studio, at your location, or by post if you’re commissioning from a distance.

Once the design is approved, I produce a full-size drawing (known as a cartoon), which can be refined if needed.

4. Crafting the Panel

The making process begins with glass cutting, followed by any painting and kiln firing.

The panel is then leaded, soldered, and cemented to complete its structure.

Please allow 3–6 months for completion, depending on the complexity of the design.

5. Installation

Installation can be arranged if you prefer not to fit the panel yourself.

Payment for fitting is made directly between you and the installer.
