Class Description:

This introductory course introduces the students to the tools and techniques of etching on glass.  The student will safely learn to etch glass on tempered plates using diamond etching tools. Etching on glass is a very safe and simple technique that allows you to create a finished art piece that will stand the test of time. We use reclaimed tempered glass.

This medium has many diverse applications such as creating signage or auto “tattooing.” This technique allows you to turn existing glass showers or railings into works of art.   Rick etches on glass to add detail to his ice glass paintings and shaped shatters but his favorite use is for turning waste tempered glass into large garden sculptures that can easily deal with Canadian winters.

The techniques learned in this workshop can also be used to etch other materials like ceramic, stone, metal and concrete.

All tools will be supplied.  

“ This is so amazing… how come more people aren’t doing this ?” Quote from Student, Carolyn after taking the etching class
