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! \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupply Fee Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA set of 3 gravers and graver holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper sheet to make sample\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStudents MAY Bring:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngraving block if you want to lug it into class!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterling silver sheet, 20g approx. 2\"x2\" if you would like to experiment with silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBill Dawson came to art metals by way of blacksmithing at the University of Oregon. Since then he has been making a living with metalsmithing, both teaching and creating custom pieces for all manner of patrons. A close examination of metalwork of ancient cultures of Ireland has given Bill a deeper understanding of the character of the metal itself, as well as the aesthetics of the past.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn More about the Instructor\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(4, 166, 12);\"\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/danacadesign.com\/collections\/instructors\/products\/bill-dawson\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(4, 166, 12);\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTools are available to purchase through Danaca Design Studio with 15% student discount code.
