engraving with micro-abrasive blasting yields attractive results on
a variety of hard materials such as glass, acrylic, marble, onyx, phenolic,
wood and ceramic. Artists etch words or designs by either freehand
blasting or stencil blasting. Stencil blasting involves using a mask
applied to the item to be blasted. Any open areas on the stencil will
be blasted creating the design on the piece. Micro-abrasive blasting

abrasive stream on the item. Personalizing glassware with names and
dates is a popular freehand application.
