I sandblast one-of-a-kind designs on flat glass for windows, doors and other decorative items. Many people when they see sandblasted glass call it "etched glass". And they are correct, it is glass etched by sandblasting. By using sandblasting techniques, it is possible to cut deep into the glass. You can even blast right through the glass if this is what is required.
On the other hand it is also possible to just shade the glass very lightly. The light shading is a soft white finish, while the deeply carved glass is very white. The deeper the glass is etched the whiter it becomes. In the deep carving you can see the "wall" of the carved area. With a combination of these techniques it is possible to create a design in many different shades of white.
When light hits the glass just right, the carved design will shine intensely green and beautifully bright. When sandblasted glass is displayed in an opening that catches the sunlight the design changes with the light and is almost magical. Sandblasted glass is always subtle, distinguished, elegant and it is often functional.

I was born and raised in Denmark in an environment that has nothing to do with sandblasting glass and when I first came to Canada, sandblasting glass was not part of my life either. I stumbled into this artform and career at a time when I ought to have started to think of retirement. It began as something my husband thought might occupy me while he was away working in the Arctic and was gone for several months at a time.
