Jim Maxwell hand engraving a White House ornament.
Handcutting/engraving is a decorating technique whereby the artisan, using a lathe mounted with a carburendum or diamond stone, manipulates the glass on the stone to create a freehand matte-finished design on the glass.
Sandblasting/sandcarving is a process whereby a stream of sand is projected by air at high pressure onto the glass to create a design permanently in the glass.
