Your Dog on a Handmade, Mouth Blown Whiskey Glass
Dogs, they’re our best friends and our drinking buddies from time to time. Imagine if you could have them on the bottom of your favorite drinking glass. GlassblowerBen can take a photograph of your dog and turn it into a 3D stamp that is used to imprint the base of one of our handmade glasses.
The first step is to contact us and let us know your desires. We have a team of illustrators and designers available to take even your wildest idea and turn it into a stamp that we can use on glass. We work with you to make sure you get the perfect drawing that represents exactly what you are looking for. The next step is for the designer to draw the dog with specific attention to the details that are necessary to move from 2D into 3D. At this point in the process, all customers review the design. Once our customer is happy with the 2D illustration, it can start the process of becoming a 3D stamp. Each stamp is created by an expert 3D modeler who works with our glass experts to finalize the stamp. At the point, the customer will receive a link to view the 3D model and give their approval. With approval, we proceed to machine the stamp out of specialized metals and perform a glass test to ensure no details are lost. Once the stamp passes the quality check it’s ready for the glasses. We select the specific glass size the customer desires and bring the glasses up to approximately 1000 degrees in temperature. Then we blast the bottom of the base with a specialized torch, or light saber. Then with great control, we stamp the glass and promptly put it into the Annealer where it will go through a controlled cool down process to make sure the glass is safe. The following day, we have gorgeous custom handmade glasses with your dog on them! These make for sucha a great gift for the dog lover in your life.
In the images below, we document taking the photograph of an English and turning it into a glass featuring the English Setter. Please note that the customer gave incredible detail about how to pose the dog, i.e., tail up! Our illustrators are here to make your design perfect. Contact us today to get started.
