Liberty 503 Glass of Portland, Oregon, has set the standard for insanely intricate glass sandblasting since they hit the burner.
Liberty 503 is a collective of glass and vinyl artists working to create the best badass glass possible. Founded in 1999 by Buddha, they specialized in uniquely hand-engraved, sandblasted glass.
From the beginning, their focus has been on ART and craftsmanship. When you own a Liberty 503 piece, you know you are supporting artists who strive for perfection.
To achieve such precise and artistic renderings, these hand pipes must go through a sandblasting process like no other. Originally, the Liberty 503 teams experimented with the power and capabilities of a sandblasting machine. They tinkered with their creations for about six months before deciding to go for it. They used the last of their money to buy a crystal sandblaster.
When asked what influences Rad Glass' art, he replied, "The universe is one big interconnected fractal vibration of energy. We are all connected as one through this cosmic geometry."
Together they create beautiful glasswork.
This mini beaker is adorned with several beautifully decorated skulls.
