Daedalian Glass Studios can create a range of architectural features in lead-crystal glass. Lead-crystal glass rods are available in a range of diameters where Daedalian Glass Studios can collaborate to create bespoke etched designs, unique to each client.

Etched Glass

• Etched glass is created by making small abrasions in the surface of glass. These abrasions can be made by various tools such as a sandblasting machine or a hand held flex drive – creating a frosted effect on the glass surface.
• These frosted panels can use the positive space (the frosted areas) or the negative space (the gaps between frosted areas) to form intricate patterns and designs – detailed pictures can even be reproduced through etching on the surface of glass.
• Etching processes utilised by Daedalian Glass Studios include sandblasting (sandblasted glass), engraving with a drill (engraved glass), glue chipping (glue chipped glass), and water jet scoring.
• Etched glass is also known as frosted glass.
