Can Van Tetterode restore glass?
Yes, we can restore very well (UV-bonding), provided you still have all the pieces. Costs are € 55, - per hour plus € 10 for the UV lamp and the glue.

Can I rent part of the glass blowery?
No, we only let the glassworks as a whole, per day or half day.

Can different types of glass be melted together?
That is not possible. But different types of glass can be glued together very well.

Can blown glass be hardened?
No, that is not possible.

Can Van Tetterode imitate an industrially blown lamp?
That is difficult. Often these bulbs are blown into a mold, that we obviously do not have. Making a mold of a single piece would be a costly affair.

Can a broken lamp be repaired?
We generally cannot melt a broken lamp together again. But glueing is possible.

What size of a job can I ask Van Tetterode to do?
Van Tetterode Glass Studio can accept assignments of almost any size.
