Course Description
Although beginning engravers quickly learn how to cut a variety of lines in metal, they often wish their finished work was more attractive. This course takes them to the next level by teaching how to design and execute beautiful scrollwork that complements the engraved item itself. Students will spend considerable time designing and drawing in this course as an important bridge to more advanced engraving. This class is highly recommended for less-experienced engravers who seek a noticeable improvement in their finished engraving.
