Hi from across the pond

[bert phillips]

Hello, Im from South Wales in the UK, I am a glass engraver looking to expand on my glass working knowledge to help the folding stuff keep flowing.
So from now on I shall be lurking around here, asking stupid questions and generally getting in the way till i learn something.
Your patience is appreciated.

Bert.

Sweeeeet! Always cool to see other glass work besides lampworker and furnace work! Start a work thread and post lots of pictures, as I am sure I am not the only one that would like to see cool engravings.

Welcome!

Nice pictures. Is it hand engraved, sandblasted, or a combination of the two?

[bert phillips]

Mostly sandblasted there but I do hand engraving too and looking into a copper wheel setup as well.
