Engraving Masterclass with Dario Batzella

Level: Intermediate/ Advanced.

About the course:

An exciting Engraving Masterclass with Dario Batzella for those with previous jewellery experience. This two-day course is a great opportunity to learn the art of engraving. Firstly students will learn how to prepare a graver and plate before moving on to begin perfecting the skills of basic core cuts whilst exploring how to translate them into designs. Students will focus on repeat patterns and mark making to create textured surfaces that can stand alone or be used as a base for transparent enamels. Over the weekend the class will develop a solid base knowledge to apply in future jewellery and silversmithing projects.
