ifty years of true hands-on engraving, carving, masking, blasting, shading, and artistic development is rare today. You are teaching the craft. Here’s a polished version of your statement that could be used for a website introduction, brochure, presentation, or even the opening of a class program for CT Engraving:
For over 50 years, I have dedicated my life to the art and science of glass engravi
ng and surface carving. I am the founder and developer behind products such as Sandair, Sandetch, and most recently AeroEtch — A-E-R-O-E-T-C-H — innovations that helped introduce creative sandblasting and engraving techniques to countless artists, businesses, and hobbyists across the country. Throughout my career, I have worked on everything from crystal and w**e glasses to stone, brick, granite, mirrors, awards, signage, memorials, photographs engraved in glass, and architectural projects. If it can be carved, etched, or personalized, chances are I’ve done it. I hold patents connected to these technologies and processes, but today my focus is no longer about corporations or manufacturing. My mission now is education. That is why I founded CT Engraving. This is my opportunity to pass on over five decades of real-world knowledge, techniques, tricks, and artistic methods before they disappear. I want to teach people not only how to engrave glass, but how to understand the process creatively and professionally — how to turn simple materials into works of art, and possibly even build a business or side income doing it. This is not just about equipment. It is about technique. It is about imagination. It is about understanding pressure, masking, shading, carving depth, design, and artistic control. Most importantly, it is about keeping the craft alive. Whether you are a beginner, artist, hobbyist, sign maker, craftsperson, or someone simply looking for a new creative direction, I want to show you what is truly possible with engraving and sandblasting.
