About This Commission
Handwriting carries more than words. It reflects the rhythm, character and individuality of the person who wrote it, whether it's a personal note, a signature, a presentation inscription or a historic document.
We work from original handwriting, signatures, letters, certificates and other written material, carefully preparing each piece so it can be faithfully engraved onto glass while preserving the character of the original.
Each commission is individually assessed before artwork is prepared, allowing layouts to be developed for personal gifts, corporate presentations and commemorative pieces alike.

The Commission Process
