Frequently Asked Questions

WHEN CAN I BUY SOMETHING FROM YOU?
  • I've been on hiatus since 2022 when my father passed, and then I had to focus on tenure. I reopened in October 2025 due to the federal government shutdown and the fact that I'm placed on furlough, which means I can do outside work like this. So I'll be making glass until the government reopens. I'm glad to know the interest is still out there! 

HOW DO I FIND OUT ABOUT THE NEXT DROP?
  • The best place to find out is through my instagram, https://www.instagram.com/brainedglass/. I will post updates as the date nears, and you can subscribe to countdowns through my story and get an alert when the shop is open. 
  • You can also send me a message through the "Contact Me" link and I will send you an email when I know the date of the next drop.

DO YOU TAKE PREORDERS OR COMMISSIONS?
  • At this point I am not taking commissions at all, since this isn't my main job and I still want to maintain creative freedom.
  • I think I might periodically offer limited pre-orders, so stay tuned.
  • Some pieces will not be available for purchase since they're my art and I want to keep them unique. Thanks for understanding and it means a lot to know people have been touched by these! I'm looking into offering prints as a happy compromise.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY? WHY IS SHIPPING SO EXPENSIVE?
  • Unfortunately I can no longer offer international shipping. Message me if you want more information.

WHAT IF I'M A US GOVT WORKER?
