Sandblast Department



Beautiful works in sandblasting are the result of equipment and operator. Through technology and equipment, a variation of air pressure along with a variance of sand flow contribute the mechanical element. But the artistic elements are brought into play by the skilled artisan at work with the sandblaster. The decision of how to approach a project is key to its eventual beauty. The process of peeling resist, sandblasting, then re-masking as not to destroy earlier work, is a process mastered by few. This process is completed by the artisan's skillful use of pressure and sand to bring depth of cut and shaded areas into play. In the end, it's a perfect combination of artist and machine to create an exquisite work of glass art, each a one-of-a-kind endeavor.
