Custom Work

GLASS SMITH Mary R. Lynn

Custom Work

Custom work is welcome at the Glass Smith.

An example of custom work is the piece to the right. This piece was installed in a front door “porthole.”

One of the most common questions when discussing custom work is, “How much will it cost?” This is surely a fair question. My answer is almost always, “It depends.” My work is priced by the square foot, with the range being generally $100 - $200/per square foot. Where will your piece will fall in that range?

The factors that come to play in determining the final price are:

design intensity (more of which leads to more glass cutting and fitting)
type (rarity, nature and cutability) of glass used
and finishing, such as patina, framing and installation.

Estimates are gladly given, with a $150 initial visit fee. This fee covers the initial design and is not refundable; it is, however applied to the first payment for the custom piece(s).

Payments for custom work are as follows:

1/3 at agreement on design
1/3 when completed
1/3 when delivered or installed.
