The first step in
the commission process is contact. A client can contact us in several
different methods. We can be reached by phone at 812-265-0030, by e
mail at contact@rainbowsstainedglass.com, or rainbowssg@roadrunner.com.
We can also be reached at our retail location at 831 W. Main Street in
historic Madison, Indiana.
The next step is to
decide on a design or at least a concept for a design. We can use pattern
books that provide a general idea of the style/type of panel. We can use
purchased bevel clusters and design a panel around the cluster. We can also
use a photo that can be adapted into a stained glass pattern. Once we have
a good idea of the size, style, type and colors for the stained glass panel,
we can formulate a computer generated rendering of the project. We use a
stained glass drawing program, Glass Eye, for our stained glass projects.
Utilizing this program we provide our client's with a fairly accurate
rendering of their completed project.
Once we have our
computer model of the project we submit that drawing to our client for
approval. If there are any modifications to style, arrangement or color
they can be made at this point. Once all of the changes/adjustments have
been made, the client will receive a final price for their project.
Following approval
of the price, the client will receive a computer generated color drawing of
their project. Of course, no computer model can accurately represent the
beauty of the completed project. Seeing your panel in it's new setting will
be the exclamation point of the entire process.
The client will also
receive an estimated delivery time for their completed work. When the
project is complete the client will be notified by phone or e mail that
their commission is ready for pick-up, delivery, or installation.
Commissioning a
stained glass panel is not a difficult process. Our client's play an active
role in developing a project that will meet their needs and showcase their
taste and style. We can make that process easy, enjoyable, and rewarding.
