One of my “friends” on Facebook is the Glass Artists Group. A tutorial on sandblasting glass was posted on the blog connected with this group, Glass Art and Etching News. I’ve always wanted to do this and even plan to set up a sandblasting unit for my studio. What they’ve got you doing is sandblasting a design on glass using a stencil. Simple enough. And here’s more info on sandblasting and sand carving…I know one of the ways I plan on using sandblasting on my glass is to give the surface a nice matte finish. It’s also good for evening up a surface before a firepolishing or a slumping. You can also remove a devit from a surface. Hate to the devit!
