About this Workshop

This class is designed for hand engravers who have had previous engraving instruction at the Marc Adams School or have attended the weekend Introduction to Metal Engraving class the weekend before. Students will engrave a Lie-Nielsen 102 low-angle block plane. Michael will have a variety of pre-inked and transferable engraving patterns from which class members can choose for their projects. Patterns will be developed on a steel plate before application to the plane. These tools are destined to be the most beautiful tools in your woodshop inventory and will be collected and cherished for generations by your family members. Students with some experience will also benefit from the weekend workshop, using it to refresh their skills, practice with the in-house equipment, and prepare for the week ahead. Special engraving material and projects will be available for practice at no additional cost.
