The final cost of your commission is a mix of several
factors. Firstly, the time it takes us to produce a complicated piece is obviously
longer
than the time to make a simple item. So the more detail you require the more expensive
your piece will be. Secondly, the price of the coloured glasses that we will use in a
stained glass panel vary quite considerably from colour to colour. This is because glass
is coloured by the addition of metal oxides, and as copper is far cheaper than gold, then
green glass is far cheaper than pink or red. So the colours that you pick will have an
influence on the final price. If you want us to incorporate handmade
glass or to do some staining or fusing work in your design, then you will have put the
price of your panel up even more. Then the size of the finished piece is also important as
smaller does not always mean cheaper. If you are after a small fussy design it will
probably take us longer than to make a large simple design. Therefore both could work out
at the same price!
A rough idea of cost is that a half glazed door (one with a glass panel
in the top half) could cost you anything between £1000 and £3000.
If you are looking for
something that bit different and which is going to be a one-off. Then consider commissioning us
to make a work of art for you.
Once we establish what you are
looking for we will send you a full size drawing of your commissioned art work with a
price for the design, manufacture and delivery of it. We work it all out on paper so
that you are happy with what you are going to get before we go anywhere near the glass
itself.
