Engraving Techniques
Drill, fusing and sandblasting. Sometimes combining techniques. Sand carving is something Pete wishes to develop.
I make beautiful unique fused glass, dichroic glass jewellery, bowls and home decor.
I mainly sell via Etsy and via social media. I do attend craft fairs regularly also.
In 2022/3 my primary focus has been on creating wall light panels to display the glass to its best advantage. The light is intended not only to light the piece, but also the wall it’s mounted on.
Working mainly with kiln-formed bullseye, opaque and transparent glass, I use the techniques of fusing, slumping, draping and sandblasting the glass to create the bold outlines and contrasting colours that define my style.
at present my work is in the applied arts scotland exhibition in Edinburgh .
