Multi-Stage on Clear Glass
There are three kinds of stage carving techniques for sandcarving: single stage, double stage, and multi-stage. When you use your sandcarving system to do a multi-stage carve, you are able to transform two-dimensional graphics into beautiful three-dimensional pieces of art.
Multi-stage Sandcarving on Glass
Multi-stage glass carving is a unique technique that can only be accomplished through sandcarving. This process allows you to sandblast three-dimensional designs into glass with an end result that looks professional and adds value to your piece of art. The multi-stage sandcarving process takes practice to perfect, but with time you can achieve beautiful results.
