Waulk/Wake.Glass table. Etched. 2009.

Glass table etched with words from the Gaelic waulking song I will take a trip to Tobermory for an exhibition Absent Voices by Iona based textile artist Mhairi Killin.  (In Waulk/Wake (Wooden Bobbin rack, silver threaded bobbins, woven panel of silver wire, monofilament thread, etched silver, etched glass table on wooden table frame), handling of materials such as glass eroded by the etching process, translucent woven microfilament, text suspended in lustrous silver and gossamer-like frayed edges of weave create an evocative representation of the fragility and transience of human memory - GEORGINA COBURN, An Tobar Arts Centre.)

Etched glass door masked off before sandblasting process. Partickhill, Glasgow.

If permanent, most etching on glass today is done by sandblasting. Traditionally hydrofluoric acid was used. Acid is still used by some glass artists as it is still the best way to create certain effects.

Flash glass is where the glass has a very fine layer of colour which can be etched away leaving the clear glass beneath.
