Explore what we offer

At Waldhoffer Industrial Art Studio, we combine artistic vision with traditional industrial craftsmanship in glass, ceramics, and metal.
Our services range from small handcrafted pieces to complex architectural installations and museum-grade restoration.
Every project is made by hand — using techniques preserved by only a few artisans today.

  • Description:
    Our Basic Service covers small, straightforward artistic projects in glass, ceramics, or metal. These works involve simple forms, minimal detailing, and standard finishing techniques. Ideal for customers who want a unique handmade item without the complexity or extended production time of larger commissions.

    Includes:

    • Small stained-glass elements (panels up to 12–16 inches)

    • Simple ceramic items (small tiles, ornaments, basic decorative pieces)

    • Basic metalwork: light corrosion removal, cleaning, minor hard-solder repairs, polishing, and protective coating application

    • Minor restoration tasks (simple crack repair in glass or ceramics, basic stabilization)

    Value:
    Affordable, fast, and perfect for small decorative projects or entry-level commissions.

    Price range:
    Typically $150–$850, depending on material and complexity.

    Uniqueness:
    Each item is made entirely by hand, using traditional techniques rarely practiced in today’s mass-production world.

  • Description:
    The Intermediate Service level includes medium-scale artworks and restorations that require additional technical skill, detailed design, and more time in production. These projects often combine multiple techniques or include more expressive artistic elements.

    Includes:

    • Medium stained-glass panels (18–36 inches)

    • Tiffany-style copper foil work

    • Kiln-formed glass (fusing plates, decorative panels, sculptural pieces)

    • Medium-sized copper flowers (life-size), sculptural copper elements, and decorative metal artwork

    • Ceramic vessels, bowls, wall art

    • Metalwork with patina, oxidation, controlled texturing

    • Restoration of older glass, ceramic, or metal pieces requiring partial reconstruction or aesthetic repair

    Value:
    A balance of artistic expression, craftsmanship, and durability — ideal for home interiors, custom décor, and collector-grade pieces.

    Price range:
    Typically $290–$2,900, depending on scale and technique.

    Uniqueness:
    Each project blends traditional industrial-art methods with modern design, preserving techniques that are disappearing from contemporary craft.

  • Description:
    Our Advanced Service is dedicated to large-scale and technically complex artistic projects in glass, ceramics, and metal. These works require high-level craftsmanship, architectural integration, and deep knowledge of traditional industrial-art techniques.
    Projects at this level often involve engineering considerations, structural planning, and the coordination of multiple disciplines — stained glass, kiln-formed glass, ceramic sculpture, metal structures, and mixed-media assemblies.

    Includes:

    • Large stained-glass installations (architectural windows, entryways, multi-panel compositions)

    • High-temperature kilnforming and large-format fusing

    • Complex ceramic works: multi-part sculptures, architectural tiles, wall systems

    • Artistic metal structures, frames, patinated surfaces, forged or soldered assemblies

    • Mixed-media architectural installations (glass–ceramics–metal)

    • Museum-grade restoration or reconstruction of antique pieces with strict adherence to historical accuracy

    • Full-scale historical replicas using traditional technologies when appropriate

    🔶 Compliance & Institutional Requirements

    Projects at this level can be carried out in accordance with the requirements of government institutions, including:

    • appropriate insurance coverage for work on-site

    • project design documentation

    • technical and architectural project review

    • compliance with NYC codes and regulations (when applicable)

    • preparation of materials for institutional approval

    • collaboration with certified specialists

    When required by the project scope, the studio may engage trusted third-party firms to provide:

    • construction and installation equipment

    • scaffolding, lifts, or other specialized access systems

    • structural engineering evaluation

    • professional-grade transportation and handling of large or fragile components

    All external work is coordinated to maintain artistic quality, safety, and regulatory compliance.

    🔶 Value

    This service offers a unique combination of artistic mastery, technical capability, and professional project management. It is ideal for architectural commissions, public installations, collectors, designers, institutions, and historically significant restorations.

    🔶 Cost

    Pricing is determined by a detailed project estimate.
    Because each project varies greatly in scale, materials, logistics, regulatory requirements, and engineering complexity, no predefined pricing range can be applied to work at this level.
