Jim Maxwell hand engraving a White House
ornament.
Handcutting/engraving is a decorating technique whereby
the artisan, using a lathe mounted with a carburendum or
diamond stone, manipulates the glass on the stone to create
a freehand matte-finished design on the glass.
Sandblasting/sandcarving is a process whereby a stream
of sand is projected by air at high pressure onto the glass
to create a design permanently in the glass.
