If you cannot find a glass artist to do the project, you might try looking for a potter, especially the commercial variety. Kohler here in Wisconsin invites artists around the world to use their kiln and since they make sinks and toilets, the work that comes out of their studio can be quite big. I know they’ve sponsored glass artists.

Just something to think of as you are waiting for a better answer.
