Traditional Sandblasting

The Story Behind the Collection

Engravings shaped by familiar figures and phenomena from Scotland and the North, from the long form of the Loch Ness Monster to the shifting bands of the northern lights, influencing how each design is composed and spaced across the surface of the glass.

Line weight, contrast and negative space are carefully controlled to maintain clarity, allowing detailed subjects to remain legible while retaining their distinctive form when engraved.
