Intro to Glass Engraving
Presenter
Workshop Description
Join us for this 2-hour beginner’s class covering the basics of hand engraving with a micro drill on glass surfaces. Workshop participants will build familiarity with their tools and focus on maintaining a steady hand while developing etching skills.
Students will go home with a workbook to look back on and review, practice glass material, two sizes of burs, bur lubricant, and two engraved projects: a 4″ x 6″ picture frame, and a wine glass. Additionally, students can receive ongoing online support after the class through Engraving Workshop+, our private Facebook group.
Angie Mendez, calligraphy artist and engraving instructor at Letter This Letter That, will lead the workshop. As a professional artist, Angie has collaborated with companies such as Cartier, Jo Malone London, Christian Louboutin, and Alpha Omega Winery. As a former classroom teacher of 10 years, she is experienced in providing scaffolded instruction, prioritizing class questions, and being her students’ biggest cheerleader!
