Q: I want to learn how to add etching and carving to my stained glass products. Do you have any suggestions?
A: I think mixing etching with stained glass is a great idea as I discussed here. I haven’t worked with stained glass yet, but have been wanting to learn that also. One good thing about etching on stained glass is that the frosted white areas will be more noticeable because of the contrasting color. The white can sometimes be hard to notice on a clear glass, but when you etch on colored glass gives it a nice appearance.
Feel free to show me some examples if you end up mixing them, and maybe we can feature you in a similar way we did with these two stained glass artists: Joe Dwight & Cara Rider.
