Art Glass Sculpture — Fused Glass, Stainless Steel & Resin Base

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.

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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT HANDCRAFTED GLASS

Every Dax Art Studio sculpture is individually handcrafted.

No two pieces are exactly alike.

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.

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.
