An Etched Glass Backsplash with a Tranquil Aquatic Scene

I was commissioned to design and create this etched and deep carved glass backsplash for installation in a residence in the coastal Orange County city of Laguna Niguel.  The glass backsplash is 10 feet long by 3 feet high and is 1/2” thick tempered glass for code and safety.

Orange County Etched Glass and Cast Glass by Jay Hoyt Curtis

Throughout his distinguished career, Jay Hoyt Curtis has created some amazing works of etched glass, cast glass, and glass and metal art for installation in homes and businesses across southern California and beyond. In coastal Orange County this includes Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, San Juan Capistrano, and San Clemente, to name a few.

I was recently commissioned to create a pair of custom etched glass sidelights that I titled "Seals Swimming in a Kelp Forest”.

I designed and created these etched glass side lights for a coastal home in San Diego. I used subtle etched shading techniques to give intricate detail to these sea life forms for this beautiful entryway project.

The home owners felt that privacy was not an issue in this location, so the etched glass images on clear glass allow plenty of light into the home while providing nice views of the large front yard.
