Professional Glass Sandcarvings

Posted on July 27, 2010 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content, Sandcarving Examples 22 Comments

If you aren’t aware, I have been wanting to make this blog a place for people to show off their etching or sandcarving type of work, so I have been allowing people to guest post here.  That way it can inspire us all, establish an updated source of great work, and get free exposure to your business.

So here is a guest post by Kyle Hunter Goodwin.  I have been looking at some of his sand carvings for awhile, and recently he was nice enough to share his amazing glass work.  He has to be one of the most artistic sandcarvers I have seen around.

It’s a very impressive multi-stage glass sandcarving of a T-rex dinosaur and the details he shares are below:

  • Glass is 21″ wide and 3/8″ thick.
  • It’s a hand drawn and hand cut design.
  • With a mix of multiple carving techniques as seen below.

A dinosaur etched by sandcarver Kyle Hunter Goodwin.

The detail and amount of work put into this is amazing.  He has a whole site dedicated to this type of work at Hunter Glass.  Check out his other excellent carvings. If you’re looking for some art, give him a call.  You won’t be disappointed, just check out his work.

Also, please leave Kyle comments, questions, or compliments below.  It would mean a lot and his work is amazing, so why wouldn’t you!  Thanks a bunch Kyle.

    Kyle, the usual “oooooh’s” and “ahh’s” just don’t qualify to describe the quality of your work. You’re destined for fame, to be sure.

    Awhile back I saw a sand craving of a rose on a rock, which I thought is a good piece. The red and green both complementary colors which also make black seem to fit in well with each other. Color and composition can make a good piece of art. I meant to make a comment earlier, but shot in my shoulder joint and was out oif it for a time
    The one by Kyle Hunter Goodwin look well planed and has good detail. No matter how it was brought to life. there seems to be a lot of detail and dimension

    Thank you all for leaving Kyle comments so far and keep them coming! Be sure to ask him any questions to.

    I figured I’ll start off. You said that its hand drawn and cut which shows the amount of time and skill in itself. What brand of sandmask did you use?

    The fine detailed cutting of the stencil is very precise. I know how hard it can be cutting small areas, especially with a thick sandmask. Great work!

    P.S. I am with Kelly on the fame thing and hopefully you can start getting some of it by sharing your work here. Cheers

    My main mask for carving is an 18mil made by Anchor. On many detailed pieces I add extra adhesive in order to hold down my thin edges but I also employ a couple other techniques to sharpen things up sometimes.

    Thanks again for the comments.

    Amazing control of the depth of the stage blasting to give the sculpture an awesome 3D appearance. The T-Rex roars to life! Congratulations Kyle.

    Amazing work- I must read up on how you accomplish it (I just fuse/slump).

  14. Kyle says:

    Thanks again for the kind words. Kablwerk…I draw a stencil the sandcarve the design into the glass. I also do some slumping work now, my wave sculptures combine sandcarving and slumping.

    Kyle, are you a member of the Glass Artists group on Facebook? Either way, I am designating this blog to help people promote their glass art and I’d like to feature you again. I am a big fan of your glass and it will give you way more exposure than before. Let me know.
    -Eric

    Eric, that sounds great! Once again I really appreciate you promoting what I do. It’s rewarding to know people really enjoy my work!
    I have a new panel being finished in the next week—it’s the wave cutaway. Looking good so far. I’ll post it at the fan page when complete.
    Cheers!
    Kyle

    No problem Kyle, I enjoy helping out others especially since I am a huge fan of glass art like this. I am a entrepreneur and I realized that most glass artist are both artistically creative and entrepreneurs so I have high respect. Its understanding for me to see the amount of time and effort put into both sides.

    Let me know what you want me to feature. If you don’t already know, I decided to dedicate this blog to featuring a new glass artist each week. Here is the first one: https://www.glassetchingsecrets.com/blog/murrine-cane-art/
