During the class the tutor will demonstrate many different styles of lines and cuts with the graver.

The tutor responds to a student’s abilities and helps develop those skills. During the class you work predominantly in copper as it is a very suitable medium for engraving by hand, then as the skills improve during the class students have the opportunity to finish working on a silver pendant. Throughout the class students are given feedback and tips to improve as you go throughout the day and there is also a healthy dose of encouragement.
