CommissioningI understand that commissioning an artist may be a daunting experience. Rest assured that you will be involved in each step of the design process to ensure that end result is to your liking.
Step 1 - PreparationDecide on the size and format you would like - eg long, thin, triptych, square etc. The following pages - as well as the portfolio on my website may help you decide on your design. You may find it helpful to place pieces of paper cut to size on the wall to gauge the scale correctly.
Gather together reference material such as paint and fabric swatches, samples of furnishings along with photos of the desired location and any inspirational imagery that you may wish to be incorporated into the design.
Step 2 - The design processContact me to arrange a time to meet. If this is not practical, we can communicate via phone and email.
At the briefing, we will discuss the design of your commission and select from a wide range of glass swatches and design options.
I will put together a design proposal on computer and email you a PDF file for your approval. Once you are happy with the design and would like to proceed - you will be asked to pay a 50% deposit.
Step 3 - Making
On receipt of the deposit I will make a start on making your commission. This takes about 1-3 weeks if I have the glass you have selected in stock. Before firing in the kiln, I can email you a photo of your artwork for approval - alternatively you can come to my studio and see the artwork set up in the kiln. Some clients welcome the opportunity to get even more involved by adding the finishing touches.
Once you are satisfied with the design, I will fire the glass in the kiln. This process takes approx 24 hours to ensure that the glass is annealed. I will contact you when the glass is ready for collection at which point the remaining 50% payment is due.
Step 4 - InstallationThe wall panels come with high quality metal wall mounts.
These are quite easy to install, you will need to drill a hole, fit a raw plug then screw on the brass fixing. The silver part simply screws on top. Final adjustments can be made with allen keys.
Alternative methods of hanging the glass are available.

Swatches
The glass can be fused together in any number of combinations to match in with your own colour schemes and accent colours. The swatches shown here are based on transparent glass, there is also a wide selection of opaque and special effect glass available. Here are a few sample colour swatch combinations.

Commission example 1 - Kitchen triptych woodland, river and ivy
The design is representative of the local landscape and works across three large panels - and then continues to three small panels of the wall to right of hob
The eye visually makes the links between the spaces. This effect can be achieved with two or more panels (see other pages for examples)

Commission example 2
‘Abstract water’ kitchen splashback
The final piece in place
“Hi Sue, as you can see the splash back is
in place and looks magnificent. We all love it
and can’t stop touching it. Lots of friends have
commented on it, and we feel it really finishes the
kitchen off beautifully. Thanks so much”
Helen
The client had recently installed a new kitchen and had been waiting to find the right kind of splashback. This is made using an opaque glass as the base so that the adhesive could not be seen through the glass. After considering different design options, Helen decided to go for the option with the irregular edge - the glass extends both left and right beyond the main piece.
Coloured glass was carefully selected to match existing accessories. This piece was fired at
a lower temperature to retain the textured finish, a smoother surface can be achieved by melting the glass at a higher temperature if preferred.

Triptych designed to compliment the details of newly decorated living room, see visual and final piece after installation.

Commission example 5
Hotel TerraVina - New Forest
I was invited to display my glass art in this lovely boutique hotel in the New Forest - Hampshire. The artwork pieces are for sale to customers and a special “Meet the artist” date arranged.
“We have handed over the
reception and entrance area of
the restaurant to Sue and we
are delighted with the results.
Each piece is unique, very
beautiful and encompasses
the style and ethos of TerraVina
perfectly, both in colour palate,
forest theme, design and
quirkiness.”

I was invited to create a display of my glass art at Enigma Hair Design in Parchment St. Winchester.
The idea was to create an eye-catching window display for passers by, whilst creating attractive contemporary display providing privacy for customers in the salon.
These panels have been suspended in the window to allow the light to shine through both day and night
They are available for sale and come with wall mounts.
Commission example 8 - Enigma Hair Design
Also on display are decorated mirrors for each of the stylist’s work stations.
Please contact me if you are interested in buying any of these pieces.
