About This Workshop
In this workshop Greg will teach students how to etch and carve glass using different techniques to achieve a visual depth in glass. Students will be encouraged to bring a design to etch or carve in their glass panels or Greg can help you choose a design. When etching glass, it is done to the back side of the panel. Students will use a sandblast resist that will be cut in layers to create a unique effect of depth. Greg will demonstrate how to carve, shade and shadow designs in glass. He will also review sandblasting equipment and discuss safety issues that must be considered when sandblasting in an open environment as well as how to properly maintain the air compressor and sandblasting pot. By the end of the week, students will create a one-of-a-kind etched glass art piece.
