Dabbles in Dalles

Would anyone reading this post be able to help me? I want to sell dalle de verre designs and of a non-secular nature. I've inquired to a few larger studios and have been rejected for what I assume were reasons of inexperience, yet my passion for this art medium is huge. I think outside the box and am currently trying to sell an idea to my community that will require 4200 square feet of panels (give or take a 100) and I have many more design ideas that I'd like to pursue as well. I'm 55-years-young and and quit my former job because I want to work with glass. What better reason. I hope this cultivates someone's curiosity and begins a dialog.
