The latest and most extensive reflection of Ernest’s creative scope can be seen in the fulfilment of a sacred interior. Entering the new chapel of the Bārbele School “Roots and Wings” (2019), one feels an unmatched airiness and upliftment. Ernest helped realize Priest Andris Medins’ vision of a place of worship, bringing the necessary harmony to the interior – from colours to material and use of the space. The chapel contains a harmonious collection of traditional sacred attributes – glass altar, glass pulpit containing pure gold dust, glass tabernacle, glass water-bowl, glass shelf and, very soon, the windows. All sacred design objects are created in layered (aka stacked) glass technique.

Shipping and delivery
As soon as the glass memorial is ready, we share photos/videos with you for evaluation, prepare it for shipment and make installation instructions. We survey logistics companies to find and offer you the best delivery option. We can do the survey as soon as we know the delivery address and the exact configuration of the shipment - size and weight. We have established successful cooperation with transportation companies in various countries, but we are also open to collaboration with other logisticians, which you propose and choose! |

Production duration
The production of glass monuments lasts from 30 workdays. It mainly depends on the complexity of the design and the ongoing workload during the particular period. The work volume is usually highest during spring, whereby the production time is the most extended, starting from ~45 workdays. Therefore, we advise ordering a glass monument timely. For example, if you wish to install the memorial in spring/summer, then - autumn/winter is the best time to make the order. |

Granite base and other stone elements
You may choose to develop the granite base and stone elements with your local stonemasons or us. Making them locally will save you the shipping costs, and the stonemasons may prepare the ground and install the base as soon as it is ready. On rare occasions, making the stone parts with us will be the only option. This applies to designs where the stone and glass have to be very closely fitted (e.g. inlay of stone in glass monument or glass in boulder). |
