I am always happy to consider a commission for glass art but I do not accept all commissions. When I look at a commission request I consider the difficulty of the commission, the nature of the commission, and my current workload among other factors.
If a commission is simply too easy, I will often suggest other means of achieving the same effect or other companies to perform the work. I am frequently asked about commissions which are really in the arena of a professional glazier and not a glass artist. Glazing in simply panes of textured glass is not truly glass art and is not something in which I have an interest. I look for challenging commissions that will allow the full use of my artistic talents and professional skills.
I also consider the nature of the commission. If the requested style is one in which I do not feel inspired to work in, or which I feel is better expressed by another artist, I will tell you. Each of us has our own styles in which we feel more comfortable working and in which we can better express ourselves. If I do not feel inspired, the work will not be inspiring. I don't churn out emotionless factory pieces. I desire to create the most beautiful art possible for my clients, and so the nature of the commission is important to me.
Finally, if I currently have too many commissions underway and will not be able to get to yours quickly, I will tell you. If you do not mind the time-delay then that is all right. But I refuse to rush my creations so that I can mass-produce windows. I strive to create the most perfect works possible, and so will not allow myself to be rushed.
