Tankard Mug Glass Set. Holds 16oz. Set of 4

PAW PRINT design is sand etched onto the glass.

Sand etching is the abrasion, or roughening, of the surface of glass, stone, ceramic, wood, metals, and other medias to produce a design or a monogram. Photosensitive masks of each design are created and hand applied to the surface of each glass in the preparation for the artist to then sand blast them...one-by-one. High pressure sand is sprayed through a nozzle to slowly etch away the surface. Through controlling the pressure and distance to the surface, the artist is able to control the depth of the etching creating various beautiful effects ranging from dramatic to subtle.
