Introduction to Hand Engraving


  • Vanilla Ink Jewellery School CIC 3rd Floor, 60 Brook Street Bridgeton Glasgow, G3 8ND (map)

Discover the ancient [and incredibly satisfying] craft of traditional hand engraving in this immersive two-day workshop at Vanilla Ink CIC, Glasgow. Hand engraving is one of the oldest jewellery techniques in the world, and this class gives you the rare opportunity to learn it directly from an award-winning professional engraver.

Over the weekend, you’ll learn how to engrave clean lines, decorative patterns and precise cuts, using the same fundamental techniques that have shaped jewellery, silverware and fine metalwork for centuries. This is a hands-on, technique-focused class where you’ll watch expert demonstrations and have plenty of time to practise each skill yourself.
