About

Made in Petaluma by Joe Lauritzen

Sterling Etch Co. is one person and one workshop. Every design is drawn, masked, and etched by hand — no clip art, no shortcuts, no middlemen — so you work directly with the maker from first sketch to finished piece.

Glassware, mirrors, awards, panels, keepsakes — if it's glass, it can be etched, with depth and detail you can feel with a fingertip. Local pickup is welcome, and pieces ship nationwide.
