I do blown sculpted glass work and some silk screening as well. wonder if I could incorporate this technique into my blown work. any thoughts?
My friend and I are attending Alfred University each studying glass and printmaking. We having been thinking about combining the two mediums to create an installation piece and was wondering if you had any tips about etching glass panels/slabs or knew of any good articles to educate ourselves. Thanks for any help you can offer!
Hey Jennifer....
You could incorporate this technique......in the same way you would make a bullseye glass roll-up. use high fire paint instead of ink......then roll up and blow out :)

Hey mMmily...
make sure you etch deeply on your wood block or lino cut.....lino cuts seem to work even better!
