Starting Small with Etching

Posted on December 7, 2010 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content 1 Comment

Q: I am really looking for some free patterns right now to see how much we like it. Been doing smaller wine glasses, beer mugs and some mirrors.

Small brown bottle with stencil prepared for etching.A: I am sure you saw some of the free patterns that I offer, but if not- check them out. Eventually, I will update the collection with more in the future.

That is a great way to start by doing smaller items first and seeing how much you like it before investing in thousands of dollars for sandcarving (link to info) and equipment (glassetchingsecrets.com/equipments.html).

I often see a lot of people spend a bunch of money without testing the market first and then end up having to sell their equipment. So I suggest that you start one step at a time. You can also start out with inexpensive mini sandblasters that I listed.
