Expand Your Creative Glass Palette by Sandblasting Designs Into Flashed Glass
Using flashed glass gives the sandblast artisan the added pleasure of a bright, solid color to work with in combination with a secondary base color to enhance the detail of the design. Lambert's glass is German mouthblown, full antique glass that is handcrafted by dipping a blown gather of glass into a colored glass. Flashed glass is excellent for sandblasting and engraving.
Image above is split to show both sides of the glass. Light color is the top layer, dark color is the bottom layer. See the basic steps below to discover how easy it is to create with sandblasted flashed glass!
1. Apply resist to glass. Transfer design to resist, cut along lines using a stencil knife. Peel away the cut pieces where the glass will be frosted.
2. Place glass inside sandblast cabinet. Please note: It is important to follow all safety instructions from the manufacturer. Blast by moving the nozzle back and forth evenly, starting at the top of the design and moving downward.
3. Remove remaining resist, clean the glass and display!
