By combining deep carved glass with etched glass shading, Classic Glass artisans create stunning visuals that are both beautiful and sophisticated. This latest piece by glass artist Rudi Waros combines both techniques and is accented by an edge lit LED system. The client wished to capture the organic qualities of water and thus requested the carved glass’ edge mimic that of rippling waves. Moving in from the carved edge, soft etched shading fades into circular bubbles that disperse as they reach the table’s center. The carved relief is on the underside which allows the top side of the glass table to be smooth and functional.

Incorporating relief carving with LED lighting produces dramatic illumination, contrast and vibrant color that washes through the glass. These powerful lights instantly accentuate carved glass, adding interest and personality. The controls allow the user to choose from a range of colors and even set the scheme for color fading or strobe like effects. The result is a work of art that highlights the overall design of the clients kitchen. Classic Glass artisans specialize in combining traditional glass techniques with modern technology to create truly unique works of art.

Carved Glass Sign

Classic Glass recently completed a carved glass sign for the Central Intelligence Agency’s Information Operations Center. This division of the CIA evaluates foreign threats to US computer systems, particularly those that support critical infrastructures. This particular carved glass sign is sculpted on glass that is 48″ in diameter and hung with aluminum standoffs. The technique is generally referred to as multi-stage deep carving; each area is literally sculpted by hand to create a dramatic depth effect. Carved glass can also be in-filled with paint or shaded with various etched densities to further add dimension. Classic Glass is often commissioned to produce carved glass signs for various government agencies around the Washington, DC area. Our state of the art technology and superior craftsmanship ensure exacting reproduction of logos and seals to be used as architectural signage.
