sandblasting glass

[lucydog]

I've done a fair amount of stained glass, but want to have a go at sandblasting. However, I don't want to buy equipment until I've had a go - I might be hopeless after all. Can anyone suggest a course I can do as a taster, as they seem to be thin on the ground, or perhaps has another suggestion of how cheaply I could get equipment.
Thanks, Sue

No idea about sandblasting - or even stained glass for that matter - but I am wondering if glass etching would be a way of trying out the effect without spending too much money.
Or maybe you could see if there is anywhere local that does sandblasting that would be willing to let you have a go. I'm also sure that you can hire a sandblaster.
