The art of glass etching is a fun way to create special gifts for various occasions. This can include glassware, mirrors, vases, cookware, etc. In this session, we will create a pattern (or use an existing stencil) and use the technique of applying acidic substance to the surface of the glass to roughen the texture of the selected areas. Thus, resulting in a subtle and decorative design that is permanent. You are only limited by your own imaginations. Join me as I create with you some possible gifts. Fee includes necessary supplies for the evening. Bonnie Brever has been etching glass for over 30 years and is excited to share this creative method with you!
