Dancing Light Stained Glass Studio

How it works



I produce predominantly custom work. I truly enjoy creating pieces that I know people will love and I relish the challenge of breathing life to your imagination. Whether you are looking for something to brighten up a window or to upgrade your kitchen cabinets, stained glass should appeal not only to your sense of aesthetic, but should ignite your imagination.

​

All you need to start is an idea and I'll help you take it from there. Here are some questions to consider:

​

• Do you want a panel, a lamp, an ornament or a 3-D object (like a box)?

• What do you want to see when you look at your panel?

• Are you imagining a panel with a geometric design, an abstract design, a landscape, a floral design, a portrait (pet or otherwise), or something completely different?

• Do you imagine a panel full of textured colourless glass, or are you looking for something with muted or vibrant tones?

• How big should the panel be?

• Will it be hung or permanently installed (like an over-the-door transom)?

• Will your panel get a lot of natural light. a little natural light or lots of indoor light?

• What is the style of your house?

• Do you have a photo or a sketch that you'd like me to work from?

​

You may choose from one of my pre-designed panels or I can create something just for you and for your space. All pieces are created using the Tiffany copper foil method and, when appropriate, are framed in a rigid, metal frame with sturdy hangers built in to each piece. Wood framing is also available upon request. As a special thank you, I also include hooks and chain so that you'll have everything you need to display your art.

​

How much can I expect to spend?

​

The cost of the final piece will vary from project to project. Here are some factors which affect the price:

​

• Original and one-of-a-kind designs will cost more than commercially available patterns.

• Panels with a great deal of detail will cost more than panels with fewer pieces and a simple design.

• Size is a factor as is whether additional reinforcement is needed to support an extra, super-duper large panel.

• Glass choices also affect cost. Glass sheets can range from $10 to $70 a square foot, with some colours more expensive than others. Pink for example is made by adding gold to the molten glass, hence it’s higher cost - but it is gorgeous!

​

Generally, panels can cost anywhere from $200 to $350 per square foot. Lamps and ornaments will be quoted before we begin work.
