WHAT DOES THE COURSE INVOLVE?
Our intermediate / improvers class is aimed towards students who are seeking the opportunity to take hand engraving to the next level. it is suited to those who have completed our Introduction to Hand Engraving course or those who have some experience behind them.
This course will build on the core competences of sizing, shaping and sharpening a standard square graver and the ability to control straight and curved lines as a prerequisite.
John will introduce the round and flat gravers by studying more complex 3D patterns and designs traditionally used in hand engraved jewellery. Specifically Bright - Flare Cut, Florentine, Single point square gravers and the use of beading tools for mill grain edging.
Day 1: Each student will practice with each of the new techniques demonstrated to gain practice and technique advice. There will be some drawing design elements within the class to explore and develop your own individual style that you can introduce to your own work on Day 2. Do not worry about your drawing skills.
Day 2: During day 2 we will put all of these techniques together to design and cut a beautiful copper box top and continue to work upon our technique.
