    This hands-on workshop introduces students to the different
    techniques utilized in hand engraving as well as the disciplines
    necessary for tool preparation. David Olmsted, owner of A.L. David &
    Co., will teach the basics of simple engraving techniques, as well as
    how to properly sharpen gravers and transfer designs. 

    David will cover many techniques, including scrolls, volutes,
    borders, white space engraving, scaling and transferring designs,
    accents to stone setting, and details which enhance jewelry items.
    Students will learn to choose appropriate styles of engraving. If
    time permits, David will demonstrate inlay and overlay techniques.
    Gun engraving techniques will not be covered. 

    Students will take home engraving blanks from the workshop. These
    blanks will allow students to review each of the engraving techniques
    learned in class. Students will also take home all of the tools to
    start utilizing their new knowledge. 

    Practice plates will allow students the ability to document in
    tangible form, exactly what steps were taken to achieve the desired
    results. After each demonstration, students will get hands-on
    experience in executing what they have learned. 

    This workshop will allow jewelers and crafts people who would like
    to compliment their work with ornamental engraving, greater
    confidence in executing such designs. Those who wish to add the
    finishing touches of detail will find this course most informative.
