[Workshops] Hand Engraving

Hi all,

After pretty much a year off, and a really rough year towards the
end - I am back working and teaching full-time.

Haven’t quite finished the 2010 schedule - but one of the Basic Hand
Engraving workshops is coming up really quick, Feb. 13-15th - so I’m
posting this now. The rest will be announced in the next day or so
and hopefully up on the websites by Tuesday.

2010 - New series of 3 DAY INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS at SJAS.

The world we live in has changed quite a bit in the past couple of
years. So we have redesigned most of the workshops to fit the current
economy.

Two days shorter, much more intensive, and priced at $500. Five of
the weekend workshops incorporate national holidays in order to make
them even more convenient for those who have inflexible work
schedules. (PresidentsDay, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and
Veterans Day.)

Basic Hand Engraving:
Open Studios Workshop:
3 Days - $500 + graver blanks & materials. All other tools furnished.

This is an opportunity to learn ANY single new technique at
intermediate level, or “tune-up” techniques you haven’t quite
mastered. Open to anyone who has been through a basic workshop. You
get to choose what to learn.

8 hours of instruction daily & 3 hours of after hours studio time to
practice Graver blanks and practice materials available

The first question I received was about where we are. The answer is

  • North Central California, Stockton to be exact. About 45 minutes
    from the Sacramento airport, an hour and a half from San Francisco.
    (Depending on traffic) In addition, some of you who are new to the
    forum may have never heard of me. I have been away for a couple of
    years.

In short, I have been a metalsmith for 40 years, specializing in
hand engraving. Teaching for 12 years. If you look back through old
posts in the forum, I think some of mine go pretty far back?

Old website works, but is being updated right now
jewelryartschool.com I do hope to be around regularly and
participate once again…
