Concept & estimate
We review your space, target dimensions, design ideas and where the piece will live — then you get an initial scope, material recommendation and budget estimate.
Made for your space
Custom mosaic commissions.
From a napkin sketch to a finished wall — one artist, four phases, no mystery. Tell Simon about the space and the idea; he’ll give you a straight scope, honest materials advice and a firm price before anything gets cut.
Four phases. One standard.
The visible artwork gets the attention. The process underneath is what lets you live with it, clean it and enjoy it for decades.
Design & materials
Full-scale shop drawings, color palettes and glass selections — hand-cut glass, stained glass, smalti or stone. Sample boards are prepared for your approval before anything is cut.
Studio fabrication
The artwork is hand-assembled in the studio onto mesh, checked against the drawing piece by piece, so the fit is exact before it ever reaches your wall.
Setting & sealing
Installed on commercial-grade setting systems with high-performance thin-sets and grouts — engineered for wet areas and Colorado weather where the piece demands it.
Typical investment.
Every figure is a typical range — the final price is confirmed after consultation and scoping, when the size, detail and materials are known.
| Hand-cut glass mosaic artwork | Detail and material dependent | Typically $250–$500 per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Framed, made-to-order mosaic art | Scales with size and complexity; design and sample boards included | Typically $450–$900+ |
Questions we hear.
A clear answer is part of the craft.
- How long does a custom mosaic commission take?
Typical studio lead times run 4–8 weeks depending on scale and detail. Larger murals are scheduled further out.
- Can glass mosaics handle Colorado weather outdoors?
Yes — when fabricated with non-porous glass and installed over waterproof, freeze-thaw stable substrates. That’s a materials decision made at the design stage, not an afterthought.
- Do you handle the installation yourself?
Yes. Studio fabrication and on-site setting are both mine, which is how the fit and the longevity get guaranteed.
- Can you work from my idea, or do I pick from existing designs?
Your idea. A rough dimension, a reference image, or simply the thing you can’t stop thinking about is enough for the first conversation.
