Customize Functional Glass with Sandcarving
As functional glass art gains in popularity, it's time your shop taps into the passion, spirit and energy of the glass culture. Sandcarving is the perfect way to customize functional glass to create unique pieces for the Functional Glass Industry.
Glassblowing and Glass Manipulation
Glassblowing is a glass forming technique that uses extreme heat to manipulate glass into a variety of shapes and designs. It involves inflating molten glass into a bubble with the aid of a blowpipe/blow tube. Manipulating molten liquid glass into a lasting glass piece requires creativity, patience and stamina.
Glassblowing was brought to America in 1607 by the Jamestown colony settlers and the glassblowing movement continues to this day, with advances in technique and technology constantly evolving.
Customize Your Functional Glass with Sandcarving
Functional glass includes works of glass that are not only beautiful to look at, but also serve a function. Often this term refers to glass bongs, glass pipes, tobacco pipes and other smoke shop items, but it can also refer to items such as glass jewelry, sculptures, and other creative glass pieces.
There are many ways to apply patterns and color to blown glass. Sandcarving turns your functional glass into a truly unique work of art. Customize your functional glass with IKONICS Imaging's Glass Etching System and create a unique, etched glass piece in just three easy steps: Expose, Apply, Blast.
