I use two main methods of working with glass, sometimes separately, sometimes in combination.
Engraving on glass is the act of abrading the glass with a tool to make a mark. My tool of choice is a small drill with a rotating diamond or stone bur, and sometimes a sandblaster.
Kiln-forming covers any technique for shaping glass in a kiln; the principal techniques I use are fusing and slumping.
The work I have called ‘Crossover’ uses both engraving and kiln forming techniques in combination.
