Order Bespoke Glass Art
"Ordering a bespoke work of art can be an extremely rewarding experience. Having a connection with the artist and the making process further enhances the joy of owning art.
I encourage you to email me or even better pick up the phone to discuss options. Tell me about your ideas and what you want from a cast glass artwork.
Rest assured there is no obligation from intitial enquiries!"
The information here is to give clarity around the commission process and ordering bespoke glass artwork.
Consultation:
I will spend some time asking you about your reasons for wanting to commission a glass artwork, go through examples of what you may have liked previously and we will discuss form, colours and placement of the final work. Consultations can be undertaken in person, over the phone using sent images and also via video chat. Expectations will be managed through clear communication from both of us. If I don't think I can deliver the glass you want I will be honest with you from the beginning.
Time frames
Smaller (repeat works are usually available within 4-8 weeks depending on my current workload)
Larger one-off works can take 2-3 months depending on the work. ‘Rooms’ can be up to 6 months.
At the time of enquiry, I will give you an ETA depending on my current workload.
Price and Payment
I will confirm the full price of the cast glass artwork up front, after the initial consultation and there will be no variation to this.
Pack and Post within New Zealand will apply to orders - approximately $10-30.
International courier costs are available on request.
A 50% deposit is required for all commission works to confirm the order.
The balance (50%) is to be paid before/on delivery of the glass artwork.
Layby options are available by request.
Packaging
Larger works (Navigators, Arciforms, Rooms, Large Moments, Fluid series and Awards) all come with a presentation box or a travel crate. The boxes/crates are designed to ensure secure travelling of the glass and future storage options. The boxes/crates are made from archival materials, individually to suit each cast glass artwork. This packaging is included in the price of the cast glass artwork.
Assurance and Approval
I will often make two versions of a commission work to ensure success out of the kiln. If there are two options available, you can select the one you would like to have via emailed images or by visiting the studio.
If for any reason you are unhappy with your cast glass once you see it, I will refund the full price of the work, provided the glass is returned to me within 7 days and received in the same condition, with undamaged glass and packing.
This is your assurance that you can approve your bespoke glass artwork in your home. I understand that purchasing a bespoke glass artwork is a personal transaction and a special investment, and as much as you, I want to get this right!
