Creating three dimensional
reverse relief sand carvings, that capture light in
it's sparkling iridescence, makes a classic
statement of style that speaks for itself with
distinction and taste.
It's taken for granted that
glass is to be seen through, not looked at. This is
where Absonite's trend reversal from ordinary glass
use, to fun and functional glass use becomes
apparent. Architectural art glass manufacturing is
what we do.
Absonite offers significant
savings by utilizing the experience gained from

a three dimensional appearance by catching light in
the edges; bas relief.

frosting
Multistaging - the layering of stages
to create the image of one element in front of
another element; e.g., some rose petals being over
