Step 2: Create a vector drawing of your stencil
Use a vector drawing program to create a stencil or image you would like to cut out. We love CorelDraw, it's extremely user friendly and TechShop offers classes so even your circa 1 A.D. glassblower friends can learn to use (and love) it.
For our image we chose a stencil of our initials d.g.h, Detroit Glass House.
After running a day of production in the glass studio, we made 5 glass rondels that ranged from 22" to 28" in diameter. The circle you see in the screen shot has a 22" diameter, we fit our image on the smallest circle so we could use the same file to cut on all of the rondels. (The larger rondels as a result will have more space around the edges.)
