Bringing Your Vision to Life: How to Commission Custom Fine Glass Art

Learn how to commission a custom fine glass sculpture or memorial piece with Alberta artist Krystal Jones, from concept sketch to final kiln firing.

Whether celebrating a corporate milestone, honoring a loved one, or designing a focal piece for a residential interior, commissioning custom glass art brings a unique story into your physical space.

Following high-profile projects like the 2026 Alberta Summer Games, many collectors ask how my custom design process works. Here is a look behind the curtain.

What types of custom pieces can be commissioned?

  • Pâte de Verre Shadowboxes: Bespoke natural forms (leaves, flora, wings) set in custom wood frames.

  • Corporate & Civic Awards: High-volume commemorative gifts tailored to organization branding.

  • Residential Architectural Accents: Custom window suncatchers and free-standing glass sculptures.

How to prepare for your commission inquiry

When reaching out to discuss a project, having a few details ready—such as target dimensions, preferred color palette (e.g., Lake Louise blues or warm earth tones), and photos of the installation space- helps streamline the initial consultation!
