Glass Etching

This is an artistic medium that is very unique.  I was introduced to glass etching while looking for marketing techniques for a graphic design project.  What's amazing to me, is how quick the whole process is.  With the right design, anyone can do this.

What is glass etching?

Glass etching is the technique of creating art on the surface of glass by applying acidic, caustic, or abrasive substances.  It gives the glass a frosty look.

In History

This technique began before the 1860's, and in the 1920's glass etching became more easily accessible when manufacturers used moulds to etch glass which reduced the cost.
