The first factor is the number of separate pieces of glass per square foot. Designs with larger pieces take less time, thus are less expensive. The second contributing factor is the shape of those pieces. Shapes composed of straight lines are the fastest to produce. Shapes composed of soft curves take a bit longer.
Larger artworks cost more than smaller ones.
I merely add on the wholesale cost that I pay for these options. You can also go to my Commission Process page, which is designed for people who are commissioning stained glass or beveled glass for their own home or business setting and has more detailed information on pricing as well. This is probably because I have over three decades of experience and I have developed techniques that allow me to produce flawless craftsmanship quickly and consistently. All of this combines to give you the dependability of getting the perfect gift in the very shortest time possible . All your really have to know is that you want to commission a great stained or beveled glass artwork, what the occasion is, and approximately how much you want to spend.
