Prerequisites: No experience necessary but a basic understanding of metalworking or tool sharpening helpful.

Class Description:
Mastering the fine craft of engraving is a lifetime endeavor, but like most arts the basics can be learned in a fairly short time and a lot of embellishment can be done with relatively little engraving experience. Understanding how to use a graver can also help with stone setting and tricky solder joints. In this workshop students will begin with the basics, tool setup and layout, then explore hand engraving, wriggle cut, and hammer driven engraving. A variety of methods for holding the work and schemes for pattern transfer will be covered. Lettering, gunmetal engraving, and inlay work will not. Each student will take home a basic set of gravers fitted to their own hands and a whole new range of options for decorating their designs. Engraving can add a great deal of interest to your designs. This is a great opportunity to give it a try! No experience necessary but some familiarity with tool sharpening is helpful as we will be doing a lot of that!
