Douglas Tettman
Glass
Born in Toronto, Douglas has lived in Vancouver since 1995. In 2000 he began his hobby of etching lass. Mainly self-taught, he likes to use recycled materials that would have been destined for the landfill. His work is done by hand using a variable speed drill with diamond tip bits. He does not use lasers, sand, chemicals or stencils, therefore, each piece is one of a kind. Using salvaged materials creates pieces which contain flaws that are unique to each item and contribute to the look and beauty of the finished product.
