Concept & Estimating
We review your space, target dimensions, design preferences, and structural requirements to provide an initial scope, material recommendation, and budget estimate.
The commission process
How We Bring Custom Glass Mosaics to Life
From napkin sketches and architectural blueprints to studio fabrication and precise on-site installation.
Four phases / one standard
Built to hold its place.
The visible artwork gets the attention. The process underneath makes it possible to live with, clean, and enjoy for decades.
Design & Material Sourcing
We finalize full-scale shop drawings, color palettes, and glass selections (hand-cut glass, vitreous tile, or smalti). Sample boards are prepared for client and designer approval.
Studio Fabrication
The artwork is hand-assembled in our studio onto mesh or mounting paper, ensuring structural integrity and precise fit before arriving on site.
Setting, Grouting & Sealing
Installed using commercial-grade uncoupling membranes, high-performance polymer thin-sets, and chemical-resistant grouts engineered for long-term durability in wet or outdoor environments.
Questions we hear
A clear answer is part of the craft.
How long does a custom mosaic commission take?
Typical studio lead times: 4–8 weeks depending on scale.
Can glass mosaics handle freeze-thaw cycles outdoors?
Yes, when fabricated with non-porous glass and installed over waterproof, freeze-thaw stable substrates.
Do you handle the actual installation?
Yes, we manage both studio fabrication and full setting/installation to guarantee structural longevity.
