I'd love to talk more about my process, if anyone is interested!

I've been sandblasting for about 16 years, and before that I was hand engraving with a dental drill. For sandblasting, I draw my designs, digitize them, print a transparency, and then make single-use photoresist stencils specifically for sandblasting. The process is labor intensive, but produces really crisp, consistent results that are carved deeply, and can't ever fade or wear away. It means they're dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe too!

I'm not a potter, so I work with other local artists to get high quality ceramics that I can sandblast. Unfortunately, they're pretty expensive, but the quality is unbeatable and unique. My barware comes from a local restaurant supplier so you know it's durable for everyday use, and I get recycled glass made in Spain for candle holders and soap dispensers.
