Where Art Becomes Recognition

At Dax Art Studio, we believe recognition should be more than a traditional award. It should be a meaningful work of art.

Our exclusive recognition awards combine original artistic design, exceptional craftsmanship, and innovative glassmaking techniques.

Each sculpture is individually handcrafted in our studio in Clermont, Florida, using kiln-cast glass, fused glass, and, in selected designs, stainless steel and other complementary materials.

Our cast glass sculptures generally range from ¾" to 1½" in thickness, depending on the design and manufacturing process.

Through our exclusive Artisan Custom Glass Colors Service, clients can personalize their awards with colors that complement their organization, event, or recognition program.

Every piece reflects our commitment to creating distinctive artistic awards that celebrate achievements and preserve meaningful moments.

Standard Engraving: FREE

Standard engraving is included at no additional charge for a reasonable amount of text.

Personalization may include recipient names, award titles, event information, and other recognition details.

Dax Art Studio now offers UV Full-Color Printing for personalized recognition awards.

Unlike traditional engraving, UV printing allows detailed images and full-color designs without the use of decals.

Discounts are calculated according to the quantity, printing dimensions, artwork requirements, and production specifications.

Print-ready artwork is required.

Additional design, file preparation, or artwork correction charges may apply.

Additional charges may apply depending on the surface, coating, and adhesion requirements.

Certain materials may require cleaning, primer application, or testing before printing.

The applicable rate is multiplied by the total square inches, subject to the minimum charge per piece.

Material compatibility and adhesion requirements must be evaluated before production.

UV printing is an optional personalization service and is not included in the standard award price unless otherwise specified.

Our exclusive Artisan Custom Glass Colors Service allows clients to personalize their recognition awards with distinctive color combinations.

This service enhances the artistic character of each sculpture while helping organizations incorporate colors associated with their brand, event, or recognition program.

Minimum Setup Fee: $25.00 per order.

Each handcrafted glass sculpture may display natural variations in color distribution, patterns, and textures.

These variations are part of the artistic character of the glass and make every piece unique.

Exact PMS color matching is not available due to the characteristics of glass and the high-temperature manufacturing process.

We make every reasonable effort to create color combinations that complement the client's requested palette.

Energy Surcharge: $9.30 per glass piece.

Glass production requires specialized kilns operating at high temperatures for extended periods.

The manufacturing process includes carefully controlled heating, casting or fusing, cooling, and annealing cycles.

This additional charge helps offset the energy costs associated with these processes.

The energy surcharge is calculated separately from the base price of the award.

Each project is evaluated according to its artistic concept, dimensions, materials, complexity, and manufacturing requirements.

Exclusive custom molds generally start at $500.00, depending on the complexity, dimensions, and technical requirements of the design.

This fee covers the labor, materials, and fabrication processes required to develop and produce the custom mold.

All molds manufactured by Dax Art Studio remain the exclusive property of Dax Art Studio, regardless of the fees paid for their development or fabrication.

Payment covers the design development, labor, materials, and manufacturing services associated with creating the mold. It does not constitute the purchase or transfer of ownership of the physical mold.

The mold will be retained by Dax Art Studio for production purposes.

When design exclusivity is included in the approved agreement, Dax Art Studio will not reproduce the exclusive design for other clients without authorization.

Mold ownership and design exclusivity are separate considerations.

Additional design and production charges may apply.

To help clients reduce mold development costs, Dax Art Studio offers a semi-exclusive design option.

This service allows clients to obtain a custom-shaped award at a lower mold development cost while permitting Dax Art Studio to retain the model for future use.

Each client may personalize the sculpture through distinctive glass color combinations.

Although the general shape may be offered to other clients, the colors and artistic presentation can be customized for each order.

Semi-Exclusive Mold Cost: $200.00–$300.00.

This option may provide savings of approximately 50% compared with a fully exclusive mold.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HANDCRAFTED GLASS

Every Dax Art Studio sculpture is individually handcrafted.

Natural variations in colors, textures, patterns, and glass thickness are part of the artistic process.

Small air bubbles may be present in the glass.

Some sculptures may contain recycled glass materials.

These characteristics are inherent to handcrafted glass and contribute to the individuality of each piece.

The appearance of the finished sculpture may vary slightly from photographs, digital illustrations, or artwork proofs.

These natural variations are part of the artistic character of handcrafted glass.

OUR ARTISTIC PHILOSOPHY More Than an Award. A Work of Art.

At Dax Art Studio, our passion is to transform recognition into art.

We combine traditional glassmaking techniques with contemporary design, creating sculptures that celebrate achievement, inspire appreciation, and preserve meaningful moments.

Our artistic approach brings together glass, metal, color, and form to create distinctive pieces that go beyond conventional recognition awards.

Each sculpture represents our commitment to originality, craftsmanship, and artistic excellence.
