Beginning Traditional Engraving Class Inbox with Jack Brooks
« on: January 21, 2021, 06:30:09 AM »
Jack is teaching a class on Beginning Traditional Engraving.  Below is a description of the class written by Jack.

---------------------------------------------------

Dear Students,
    A few students have requested that I teach a beginning engraving class. So I am pleased to announce a one day engraving class to be held February 20, 2021, here in my studio, 9am to 5pm.  The class will be limited to six students.  The cost will be $250 for eight hours of instruction and will include a lunch thanks to my wife, Pam.
    Students will learn traditional 18th century firearm engraving.  Antique examples will be available to study and copy. Some time will be spent on engraving design.  Some time will be spent hammer chasing, push shading, and wriggle engraving.  Graver heat treating and tool sharpening will also be covered.
     To reserve a place in class, please send a deposit of $50 to:
                   Jack Brooks
                    800 West Oxford Ave
                     Englewood, Colorado
                                              80110
     I am looking forward to working with you on a facet of traditional gun making that I truly enjoy.
             Sincerely, Jack Brooks
Jack Brooks
