Collaborations
Burning Day Creations partners with independent artists to translate original artwork into stained glass. Through collaborative commissions, paintings, illustrations, and designs are reinterpreted using glass and light - preserving the integrity of the original work while exploring a new medium.
Collaborations are commission-based or gallery-focused, not mass-produced or commercial licensing arrangements. Each project is approached as a shared creative effort, with clear communication, proper attribution, and respect for authorship at every stage.
Who This Collaboration Is For
We welcome collaboration inquiries from:
- Painters
- Illustrators
- Designers
- Visual artists working in 2D or concept-driven media
- Artists seeking to adapt an existing work into stained glass or mosaic
Collaborations may be initiated by:
- Artist-led concepts
- Shared client commissions
- Gallery or exhibition-driven projects
Speculative concepts — artist-initiated ideas without a confirmed client — are welcome for consideration.
What a Collaboration Looks Like
Each collaboration is structured around translation, not replication.
Original artwork serves as the conceptual foundation, while material, scale, and technical considerations guide the transformation into stained glass. Design decisions are discussed collaboratively to ensure the final piece honors the original intent while functioning successfully in its new medium.
Projects may include:
- Custom stained glass panels
- Architectural or site-specific works
- One-of-a-kind commissioned pieces (in window or backlit / wall hung)
- Limited-run pieces (considered on a case-by-case basis)
Roles & Responsibilities
