Glasfachschule Zwiesel

Glass engraving

High concentration, special tact as well as drawing talent and a steady hand are required by the glass engraver. With small grinding wheels on the engraving machine or with the flexible shaft, they develop fine emblems, fonts, coats of arms, ornaments, structures and figures and illustrations graphically or plastically in flat glass or hollow glass. Exact replicas or the implementation of own designs characterize the daily work of the engraver.
