Working as Shasha Glass Engraving, my craft is that of engraving the design requests of my customers onto chosen glassware. I supply a range of glassware from which they can choose an item, and tell me what they want engraved on it.

I always bring a range of items that are already engraved and they indicate the kind of work I can do.

I use a stationary glass cutting disc so my work is all freehand. I need to manipulate the glassware being worked on, and with twists and rotations that have to compensate for the specific form of the glass item, I am able to follow the contours of the glass surface exactly.

It may seem easy to do but obviously has taken much practice and experience to get this right. Probably the really difficult part is to get the picture in the mind of the customer, correctly onto the glass surfaces.
