Custom Crystal Art

June 28, 2011 0 Comments

Creating custom crystal art is challenging, yet rewarding for the artist. Modern technology allows craftsmen the opportunity to churn out artwork faster than ever on large-scale production machines. However, there is at least one artist in the world who feels the old techniques are better. You can really lose yourself in a piece of smooth, transparent crystal. When you use machines, you miss the feeling of the hard surface in your hands, the way the diamond-studded hand tools gleam in the light, the sense of accomplishment when you tinker away and get the more intricate design work just right. Creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces by hand is considered a “hassle” that is best avoided to some, but to Jan Lewczenko, it’s a true joy.

Who Orders Customized Crystal Art?

Jan’s clients have ranged from U.S. Presidents, foreign dignitaries and corporate CEOs to thoughtful friends, family members and coworkers. There are so many reasons you may want to give a custom crystal art gift. Perhaps you’re shopping for a birthday or Christmas gift and you’re trying to buy for that person who has literally everything! Well, who has a personalized crystal gift? It’s rare, it’s thoughtful, and it’s a dazzling conversation piece.

Custom Crystal Art Can Be Whatever Your Heart Desires!

One of our recent crystal art projects was “The Football,” weighing in at over 41 pounds. This masterpiece is truly for champions, made with solid 37 percent lead crystal, measuring 16 inches wide, 11.5 inches high and 10 inches deep. This authentic replica features hand made crystal laces that are raised from the ball. The football itself is free standing and is not attached to the base. The football resides on a laminated crystal base fixed to a solid redwood burl. The redwood base was lacquered with only the highest quality high gloss classical instrument grade lacquer. The base was custom-made by hand by Jan Lewczenko specifically for the client. This piece can be customized with any engraving, logo or inscription. Whether used as a trophy piece or just as a collector’s item, you can be sure that it is truly an original.

How Personalized Crystal Art Works…

The process of designing custom crystal art is a magical one for artists and imagineers alike. Some customers have very distinct visions. They bring in photographs, stained glass windows, paintings, sculptures, sketches or express their mind’s-eye verbally. Other times, customers aren’t precisely sure what they want, but they know that crystal personalized gifts are the perfect sentiment. Sometimes people see a unique creation on the site and would like a replica with a personalized inscription. After talking out the details with the client, the designer will work his magic to create a proof for the customer to review. The production process includes cutting, polishing, deep etching, engraving and intricate handiwork with diamond-tipped tools. J.L. Crystal Artistry does everything by hand, rather than on big machines, and uses the newest technique in UV Fusing and Colored Lamination to create the highest quality crystal art.
