Transform plain metal into personalized art with the timeless craft of hand engraving.
Hand engraving is one of the most elegant and personal ways to elevate your metalwork—whether you're adding intricate patterns to jewelry, personalizing pieces with names and dates, or creating heirloom-quality details that machine work can't replicate.
This three-day workshop will take you from "I've never held a graver" to confidently cutting clean lines, curves, and decorative patterns into metal. You'll learn the fundamentals that professional engravers use, practice on sample pieces until you've got the feel for it, then create a beautifully engraved bracelet you'll actually want to wear.
Who This Is For:
You're a beginner with no engraving experience and want to learn this skill the right way from the start.
You're a metalsmith or jeweler who wants to add hand engraving to your skillset for more personalized, high-end work.
You're tired of relying on stamps or machine engraving and want the creative control that comes with hand engraving.
You want structured, hands-on learning that builds real skill progression—not just "try it and see what happens."
What Makes Us Different:
We don't gatekeep. We don't assume you already know how to sharpen a graver or hold a tool properly. We teach you the fundamentals that determine whether your cuts are clean or messy, controlled or wobbly.
You'll learn the why behind graver angles, cutting techniques, and design layout so you can troubleshoot your own work and continue developing as an engraver.
Skills You'll Master:
✦ Graver sharpening and maintenance – Keep your tools cutting-ready
✦ Proper tool handling – Grip, angle, and controlled push-cutting techniques
✦ Straight line cutting – Clean, consistent depth and angle
✦ Curved line work – Flowing patterns and decorative elements
✦ Pattern development – Creating borders, scrollwork, and designs
✦ Design transfer – Getting your ideas onto metal accurately
✦ Lettering basics – Script and block letter engraving techniques
What You'll Create:
Day 1: Practice pieces to build muscle memory and control
Days 2-3: A beautifully hand-engraved ring band with your choice of patterns, borders, or personalization
You'll leave with a finished piece you're proud of—plus the skills and confidence to continue engraving at home.
