Commissioning Work from Mosaic Sphere Studio, LLC.

Need the whole wall mosaicked? A back-splash for your kitchen or bath? Looking for an accent wall piece? Need a mirror or a table top? You can commission it from us! Mosaic Sphere Studio ships work throughout USA and other countries. We have done work for clients in many states with 100% customer satisfaction.

Please, call (734)769-8478 or e-mail at yhanansen@mosaicsphere.com to discuss the project.

In order for us to write up an Estimate of Project Cost, please have the following information ready:

project size (inches, feet, or metric) and shape (rectangular, circular, etc.)
where the mosaic will be located (outdoors, indoors, bathroom, wall, floor, etc.)
what materials would you like us to use (stained glass tiles, smalti, stone, etc.)
what type of design would you like? (e-mail samples of pictures, or URLs , if you have any image references)
is there a projected deadline for the mosaic to be completed by?
if possible, e-mail the photograph of space where mosaic will be located.
please, provide us with the shipping address, so we can get an estimated shipping cost.

Important: Mosaics take time to make. Please, plan accordingly. For example, a 3'x4' mosaic will take about 8 weeks to complete after the design approval. A 120 sq ft project may take 8-12 months to complete depending on the studio's schedule for other projects.
