Sand blasting

Sandblasting glass is a technique to decorate glass. A high powered air compression device called a sandblaster is used to fire tiny pieces of stone like sand at the glass causing the sand to chip away parts of the glass.

Designs can be put on using stencils to cover the parts of the glass that you do not want to be blast. You can also work in different layers.

Here I worked with typographic elements on both sides of the glass which causes an overlapping effect.
