Scroll Design & Engraving

This course provides mid-level training in the core skills used in scroll design and shading. Using a variety of practice plates on multiple types of metal, students will learn how to dissect complex scroll designs into more manageable, easy-to-understand parts. This course will also provide hands-on training and instruction in scroll anatomy and terminology, creating balance within your scrollwork, and design transfer techniques.   Participants will learn how to set up and use the tools, prepare gravers, execute foundational cuts, and apply techniques consistently and effectively. This course is intended for engravers who have some experience engraving and know how to create common graver geometries.
