Process for Lamp Commissions and Reservations (Updated September 2025):

 

If you send an inquiry please allow 3-5 days for a response. Although I may get back to you much sooner.

 

If you want to commission a new work or reserve a reproduction of an existing design, I require a 50% deposit of the total cost to reserve a time slot in my schedule. For reservations that are several months out, I do arrange a 2 or 3 part payment plan for deposits on an individual basis. If you move forward with a reservation, I will give you a time range when the lamp will be completed. Typically, I schedule out anywhere between 2 and 8 months. I produce in small batches, 3 or 4 lamps at a time, so lamps typically have a build time of 1 month, give or take. I prioritize punctuality, but please be mindful, I am a solo entity and every part of the lamps are designed and made by me alone, by hand, so I am always grateful for a little patience. As things go, sometimes my inquiry response can end up in the recipient's spam folder, so be sure to double check. My response will come from shawnlucasstudio@gmail.com​​

 

I accept credit card payments via Square, Zelle, Paypal, and Venmo. Please note the payer is responsible for any transaction fees. If you pay via credit card, Paypal or Venmo, I charge their transaction fee on top of the total cost. Zelle, as of right now, does not charge a fee.

 

I have yet to have a request to refund a deposit. However, as a way to safe guard my business, deposits are non-refundable after 5 days of being placed.

​

Regarding Pricing

The price of individual lamps, as expected, is based on material cost and the amount of labor in order to produce the finished work. For example, a lamp with a complex shape, curves, and 250-300 individual pieces of glass will cost considerably more than one with 135-150 pieces of glass. The building process involves many stages in order to produce the lamps with precision and high-end quality, and most of this work is accomplished with hand tools. In order to maintain that quality, the work must be careful and methodical.

​

Regarding Alteration Requests

For reproduction orders, please know I do not alter my existing lamps in ways that undermine the design and aesthetic intentions. I have and will take orders with alterations that are meaningful, one-off adjustments which both myself and the client agree with. I am also open to new design commissions that utilize the theme of an existing design, however please be mindful these are usually totally recreated pieces.

International Shipping

Shipping the lamps outside the U.S. is possible, but you will have to pay all fees and taxes associated with the shipment. I will not be able to give you a quote for international shipping immediately since the cost has the potential to change by the time the lamp is completed. International shipments have to be packed very well and I will build a small crate to protect the lamp shade.
