Etched Glass

Our Etched Glass section holds patterned coated glass where the design shows in clean line and detail. In each sheet, selected areas of the coating have been removed so the base glass shows through, and the contrast between the coated surface and the open areas creates the pattern. It includes etched dichroic, etched iridescent, etched luminescent, and made to order freestyle etched glass.

COE90 Etched Dichroic Glass and COE96 Etched Dichroic Glass carry patterns like Circles, Fantasy Swirl, and Abstract Tribal on color-shifting dichroic coatings, each on its own compatibility system. COE90 Etched Iridescent glass pairs the same style of patterns with a rainbow sheen that plays over the surface. COE96 Etched Luminescent glass puts patterns on genuine Wissmach Luminescent glass, an Art Glass Supplies exclusive, with a soft pearlescent shimmer you can see in ordinary light. Freestyle Etched Glass in COE90 and 96 is made to order, so you choose the COE and base glass for the pattern you want.

Choosing etched glass

Match the COE to the rest of your project first. COE90 and COE96 are separate systems and should never be mixed in one piece. Then pick the finish: dichroic for strong color shift, iridescent for a lighter rainbow play, luminescent for a soft pearlescent shimmer. Etched patterns work as focal layers in fused pieces, jewelry blanks, and kiln-formed work where the design carries the piece.

Etched art glass refers to glass whose surface finish forms a pattern you can see and feel, used as a focal material in fused glass projects. Popular patterns in this range include Cross Hatch, Circles, and Bubbles, and every piece pairs with the sheet glass, frit, and tools carried across Art Glass Supplies.
