Bas-relief engravings on Crystal The engravings of our study are carried out with completely manual techniques.
We transfer the drawing on gummed paper applied on glass (normally extra-clear) then we engrave and peel the first areas to be treated in engraving, normally the deepest ones.
Next we will proceed in degrees up to the lightest abrasions.
The hand engraving allows to dose, for each area to be engraved, the excavation intensity, the shape and the effects.
The result is that of a real bas-relief.
The greater the thickness of the starting crystal, the greater the possibility of deeply engraving the slab.
