Custom Work

Your idea, translated into glass.

Some commissions begin with a color. Others begin with a memory, a shape, a function or an idea that is hard to describe until we start talking about it. I like that part of the process. Custom work is a chance to take something personal and see where the glass can carry it.

What we can make

One of one means one of one.

Custom commissions can be functional, sculptural, wearable or simply something you want to keep around because it makes you happy. I’ll work with you on color, scale, form and complexity before anything goes to the torch.

I do not promise an exact duplicate of another artist’s work or even an exact repeat of one of my own. Glass has too much personality for that. The goal is to capture the direction, feeling and features you care about and make a piece that stands on its own.

Functional

Custom Pipes + Bubblers

Color, form, marbles, sculptural details, fuming and other techniques built around the kind of piece you want to use and collect.

Personal

Memorial + Keepsake Work

Marbles, pendants, sculptures and ornaments designed around a person, companion animal or memory.

The process

From idea to flame.

Custom work stays simple: talk through the idea, agree on direction and price, then I make it. Because each piece is made by hand, small differences are part of the finished work.

1. Tell me the idea.

Send reference images, colors, dimensions, memories or even a rough sketch. It does not need to be polished.

2. Set the direction.

We’ll agree on form, major details, approximate size, budget and what matters most before I begin.

3. Make the piece.

I take it to the torch, anneal it properly and send finished photos before delivery or shipment.

Custom pricing varies with size, glass, complexity and time. A quote is provided before work begins. Memorial commissions generally range from $100–$300; other custom work may fall above or below that range.
