This video is a study in the art of light carving. Deep carving takes a great deal of time to perfect; and, cannot be accomplished on tempered glass. Since most of my students wish to pursue residential/commercial careers, which requires working on tempered glass, this video shows how to carve lightly, while maintaining clean lines between shapes. For those of you nervous about how deeply one can blast on tempered, I blast deeply enough to actually "blow up" a piece of 3/4" tempered. On tempered glass, since it is constantly in a state of compression vs. tension, one should learn to accomplish the beautiful effects of carving without excessive depth. That is what this video is all about. After working almost exclusively in the residential/commercial arena for about six years, I have a pretty good handle on the entire tempered glass experience. Even if you don't work on tempered glass, this video will teach you to achieve a light carving touch; since deep carving is a skill that is rarely mastered. In addition to this, few people will be willing to pay for the amount of time that goes into deep carving. This video teaches the middle ground; not to mention, an extremely lucrative one.

The information presented is a very good introduction to carving technique. You just have to overlook the goofy on-screen antics of Butch Young. The video assumes that you know something about sandblasting equipment and settings before you start. Although Butch does tell what pressure settings and grit size she's using, the information is scattered throughout the video and is merely mentioned as an aside, not as teaching points.
I loved thid DVD! Butch Young is very easy to understand. Has a lot of great information.
I liked the video as far as information. Was disappointed that it does drag on and there are only a couple of projects. You need to rent the beginning etching video she has first. They assume you have already seen it. The second video made me mad it was nothing except the finished product from the first video and Butch introducing and getting the opinion of her new boyfriend at the time. He was new to glass and admits it, yet we are paying to listen to his opinion. Second video a waste of money.
