How wonderful is it to receive a gift made just for you? General Manager Kim Pember received this beautiful hand made and engraved glass vase from Glendo employees this Christmas. Glendo commissioned this work of art from Emporia State University student Evan Markowitz.

A moment in time is captured on this vase depicting a scene of various wines and cheeses. The detail is impressive for the time spent on this piece, the engraved work totaling less than twenty four hours. Although he continues to take it slow and concentrate on his engraved design, Evan does have much more control and freedom over traditional glass engraving tools like a lathe.

Using a custom GRS rotary handpiece setup, Evan has become quite adept at using these rotary tools. With such excellent craftsmanship, it is amazing that Evan has only been blowing glass for a short number of years, and engraving glass with this technique for less than a year.

No matter what surfaces interest you, GRS can likely help you engrave it. Call 1-800-835-3519 to learn what tools will help you follow your creative passion...whether you work with metal, wood, ivory, or even glass.
