I was born and raised in Denmark in an environment that has nothing to do with sandblasting glass and when I first came to Canada, sandblasting glass was not part of my life either. I stumbled into this artform and career at a time when I ought to have started to think of retirement. It began as something my husband thought might occupy me while he was away working in the Arctic and was gone for several months at a time.
We bought 16 large sheets of glass from somebody who had given up on building a green house, and my husband rigged up the equipment and built me a small blasting cabinet He then showed me where to turn the compressor on and off, wished me luck and went up north. There I was. I knew nothing about compressors and even less about sandblasting or cutting glass.

Services
I sandblast one-of-a-kind designs on flat glass for windows, doors and other decorative items. Many people when they see sandblasted glass call it "etched glass". And they are correct, it is glass etched by sandblasting. By using sandblasting techniques, it is possible to cut deep into the glass. You can even blast right through the glass if this is what is required.
