How should I go about commissioning a new Stained Glass window?
• For a private building, such as your home, simply contact some reputable stained glass studios to discuss your requirements. • For your local church, you should talk to the Diocesan Advisory Committee (DAC) Secretary at the Diocesan office for your church. • Ask them for a list of approved stained glass artists, preferably with locations of examples of their work. • Compare styles with a view to drawing up a short list. • Contact the artists to discuss your requirements. • They will supply a scale design, for which a design fee will be payable. • They will also supply a written estimate for completing and installing the window. • You must apply for a faculty from the DAC. Work should not commence until this has been obtained.
