| Although I work on just about any type of glass imaginable, this site is dedicated mostly to framed mirrors, and cabinet glass. Whether you need one piece, or hundreds, I would be more than happy to quote you a price. I do large quantity glassware orders for mugs, flutes, etc. If you are engaged in crafts or woodworking and need a piece of etched glass to finish off your projects, I can work closely with you to get the desired results you are looking for. If you supply the "camera ready" artwork we can use your designs or company logos. Please allow as much time as possible when ordering, because each piece has to be individually hand crafted. I look forward to hearing from you. |

| A craft whose roots reach back more than three centuries, glass etching is now enjoying great popularity among people who value the marvelous frosted effects that can be produced on glass through sandblasting . The appeal of glass etching has created an ever growing market which seems to have no boundaries. If the item can be imagined, it can be created. |

| Glass was probably first etched towards the end of the 17th century when a Bavarian master craftsman named Henry Schwanhart used hydrofluoric acid to decorate window panes. In 1870 a new method of etching was introduced that utilized the abrasive action of a stream of sand being shot at the glass surface by air pressure. This is what is known as sandblasting. |
