COMMISSION FAQS

How Far In Advance Do I Need To Place My Order

Our Production program follows the school calendar, so commissions are only considered from October to June.

Requests should be placed at least 90 days before they will be needed, and we cannot guarantee a commission will be completed in under 90 days from agreement.

You may submit a request within the 90 day period, but it may not be accepted.

The best course of action when determining if you would like to request a commission, is to consider your needs a year in advance.

It’s a big help when we receive a request far in advance since we can then take these needs into consideration when building our curriculum.

How Much Does It Cost To Commission Glass Art

We rarely accept single item commissions, and prefer commissions that include between 5 – 100 items.

Price will vary depending on the number and dimensions of the commissioned items. For example, smaller items may be between $40-$60 each. Logo stamps, glass color, and packaging materials are charged in addition to the per piece price. We will always update you with costs prior to moving forward on projects.

Will each piece made for my commission be identical?

This work is made by young adults who are still honing their craft.

The quality may not be consistent between each piece, and irregularities make each unique.

If you are seeking a professional level commission, Hilltop Artists may not be your best choice. Many of our teaching artists accept commissions; if you are interested in working with a professional artist, please email info@hilltopartists.org.


What are commissions that the team enjoys working on?

Students enjoy commissions where they are invited to interpret a prompt; orders with creative opportunities for different designs are more likely to be accepted. Staff and students will work together to provide mock-ups prior to beginning any project.
