Tile Laser Cutting


I was very unsure how this was going to turn out, i spoke to a laser cutting technician who said i should set the material to glass and engrave and also change the height of the laser head. I did this and this is my result, i think its very discrete and in some ways beautiful but when the laser cutter engraves onto glass it engraves into the glazed layer, this tile didnt really have a glaze over it so the cutter was literally engraving into the tile surface which was maybe too hard for the laser machine. The design is enhanced a little by some dusty parts getting into the grooves but i think it definately helps brings the crow out more.
