Make your coffee break more fun with custom-etched
mugs!
Two of our
clever clients sent us examples of ceramic coffee mugs they had etched, using
Egress Etch stencils and two very different etching techniques: chemical
etching (above) and sand blasting (click here for some sand-blasted tiles to give
you an idea of what this technique looks like).
This playful
puppy mug is an example of the subtle etching of Etch All Cream on ceramics.
Ceramic pieces can be etched because the glaze is actually a glass - based
material. Please note that only "shiny" ceramics can be etched
successfully. Pieces glazed in a matt finish are not appropriate because the
etching will not show up. The same is true for tiles. (The etchable quality of
ceramics is also why we caution clients to be very careful not to drip or
splatter the etching cream on countertops or other tile surfaces while working
on other pieces.)
Etched mugs
make wonderful gifts. You can fill them with candy, hot cocoa mix, hot cider
spices, etc., or use your own imagination for a variety of special
occasions!
